Horatio Nelson - Battle Painting

I recently saw a painting of Horatio Nelson,
sword in hand, in combat. The expression on
his face is neutral. A commentary with the
painting used the phrase "violence
phlegmatically delivered."

I would like to find a copy of the painting.

Appreciate any leads.

thanks,

Bob

Any vague idea as to who the painter might have been?

There is a lot of history which isnt fit to repeat itself.

No.

I wish I had taken notice of that when I saw the image.

I think I saw it in The New York Review of Books sometime
this past summer. I guess I might have to go through all the
issues of the last five months or so . . .

Was it this picture?

That's not it, but the posture is about right. And the person in
question looks more like Horatio Nelson than G. Washington.

There is a famous one, but in it, he has only one arm and one eye, and is
boarding another ship with a sword in his hand, and no hat - is that the
one?
