Description: MARINE ARTISTSLondonhistorical marine art Artist-Signed Limited Edition Print on Canvas byGEOFF HUNT, P.P.R.S.M.A.(British, Contemporary)"Captain Aubrey's Commands" Geoff Hunt in his book The Marine Art of Geoff Hunt writes: "This picture brings together vessels from different stages of Captain Aubrey's career in the Royal Navy. To the right is the 14-gun brig-sloop Sophie of 1801, his first independent command as 'Master and Commander'. A tiny vessel by modern standards, only 78 feet long on the gun-deck - scarcely more than a yacht - nevertheless her crew numbered between 80 and 90 all told.At middle left is the 28-gun frigate Surprise, the ex-French corvette L'Unité, aboard which so many of Aubrey's adventures are set.In the middle distance looms the 74-gun battleship Bellona; while the ship at the extreme left distance, if an identity be required, is the 50-gun Leopard, lagging behind the others as 50-gun ships were prone to do. All these vessels had a real existence in the Royal Navy under those names, except Sophie. The vessels carry the appropriate flags for their respective stages in Aubrey's career; The Bellona, for example, carries a commodore's broad pennant at the main. As for the setting, it is the Mediterranean, off whose rocky and scented coasts Aubrey spent so much of his career."
