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 armistead_rap[AT]bigfoot.com |

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

Horatio Nelson - Battle Painting
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? "Front Office" wrote in message . ..
