"The Royal Charles." by David Aldus (now reserved 5/11/10) - £4500
HIGH PRESTIGE EXHIBITION STANDARD OIL PAINTING "The Royal Charles" . BY THE FABULOUS ARTIST DAVID ALDUS. This amazing painting of the flagship of Oliver Cromwell originally called the "Naseby". The ship was renamed the Royal Charles during the royalist restoration under Charles II.
The painting illustrates the Royal Charles in 1667 just before it was captured in the Medway river by Dutch warships. As Royal Charles she took part in the Second Anglo-Dutch War. In 1665 she fought in the battle of Lowestoft under the command of the Lord High Admiral, James Stuart, Duke of York, her captain being Sir William Penn (father of the famous William Penn). During that battle she probably destroyed the Dutch flagship Eendracht. In 1666 she participated in two further actions, the Four Days Battle and the defeat of Admiral Michiel de Ruyter in the St James day battle. When captured the Dutch took the Royal Charles back to Holland but was little use as she drew too much water for the shallow dutch waters. Her metal stern piece, showing the English coat of arms with a lion and unicorn along with the white ensign, is now on display in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam!!
