Zeeslag bij Cadiz, 1781 1781 - 1782

"Zeeslag bij Cadiz, 1781" is an etching by Dutch artist Carel Frederik Bendorp, created in 1781-1782. The artwork depicts a naval battle near Cadiz, Spain, with three ships engaged in combat. The detailed etching captures the intensity of the battle with smoke and cannon fire visible in the foreground. The composition is balanced, and the use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth. This work is a fine example of Bendorp's ability to capture the drama and realism of naval warfare.
