A British School oil painting of the 80-gun carrack or ‘great ship’ Henry Grace Dieu (also called Great Harry) running before the wind, with pennants flying and gunsmoke billowing from her starboard cannons. Numerous figures are visible on deck. The ship is shown in all her magnificence, with all her principal sails taut, creating a noticeable bow wave and wake as she ploughs through the water. Numerous open gunports reveal her forbidding firepower. A turreted castle is in the distance, right, and two seagulls skim the waves off her port bow. The ship was built at Woolwich in 1514 and destroyed by fire in 1553. The painting appears to have been based on a print by Isaac Robert Cruickshank (1789-1856), first published in the late 18th century and republished in 1834, after the engraving by Hans Holbein the Younger.
