Malen ist nicht alles im Leben - aber ohne Malen ist alles nichts!
Painting is not everything in life - but without painting everything is nothing!Thank you all. I like to see this type of painting in the museums and galleries they are usually about 10′ X 6′, and larger. This is a bit smaller!.

Thank you Joan. I spent a lot more time reading up on the history of Mauritius, than the actual painting. I used actual accounts of the battle to plan the composition. I have heard, however that it is much admired, and a talking point where it hangs in my friends office on the Island.
