The Battle of Copenhagen, 2 April 1801
This painting presents the opening of the Battle of Copenhagen with the English on the left sailing into position to anchor abreast of the Danes on the right. Nelson in the Elephant heads part of the English squadron on the left. Most of the Danish ships are not fitted for sea but anchored as floating batteries to shield Copenhagen, which can be seen in the distance on the right.
