The period 1793-1815 was that of the Napoleonic wars with France - a period of upheaval which ranks with those of the world wars of the twentieth century. This book describes the activities of the Ships of the Line - the battleships that took part in those titanic struggles. In terms a layman can understand, it describes the ships themselves and their armament and looks at the circumstances of the men who served in them. It discusses the problems which faced the commanders on both sides, it describes in some detail, the major battles and gives a broad picture of the naval events which took place in the periods between battles. Written from a British standpoint, it also looks sympathetically at the difficulties which faced the commanders and sailors of other nations involved - French, Spanish, Dutch - and gives credit where it is due.

Diego Velázquez (1599-1660), considered by many to be the greatest of Spain's great painters, spent his crucial formative years in Seville, learning his craft and producing many early masterpieces. When he departed from his native city as a young man of 24, Velázquez's accomplishments were already impressive: he left to assume the position of Court Painter to Philip IV of Spain in Madrid. In this beautifully illustrated book, an international team of art scholars explores the importance of Seville for Velázquez. Discussions range across many topics, including Velázquez's education and training, Sevillian culture and Catholic theology, picaresque literature, and Velázquez's subject matter―portraiture, sacred subjects, and the bodegones (kitchen and tavern scenes with prominent still life) in which Velázquez developed his distinctive naturalistic style. The Seville of Velázquez's youth was the chief Spanish port of trade with the New World and a major religious center that witnessed the passionate controversy over the mystery of the Immaculate Conception, a subject depicted in an early Velázquez painting. Other surviving paintings from the artist's Sevillian years include his first dated painting, Old Woman Cooking Eggs (1618), and his famous masterpiece Water-seller of Seville. This book serves as the catalogue for a major exhibition on Velázquez's early work to be held at the National Gallery of Scotland in Edinburgh, August 8 through October 20, 1996. The exhibit also includes a selection of influential works by Velázquez's important contemporaries, such as the sculptor Montañes and painters Alonso Cano and Ribalta.
