Lord Nelson

Nelson will be remembered as a great leader and hero but most of all for acheiving decisive naval victories at critical points in the very lengthy Napoleonic war. He was honoured by receiving the title the Duke of Bronte by the King of Naples

This piece relies heavily on the fine sculptural details of the medals and facial features united by the strong colours used in the fine hand painting. Specific details include the built in eyepatch which is visible in the sculpting of Nelson's hat.
