Ioannis Altamouras, a Greek painter, depicted a sea battle in this dramatic artwork, likely referencing a historical event. The artist, who lived from 1852-1878, captures the intensity of naval combat through the detailed rendering of the ships, their billowing sails, and the churning waves. The inclusion of flags suggests national identities, adding another layer of meaning to the scene.
