About this work

A large oil-style painting shows a heavily listing warship with a red flag bearing a white crescent and star, engulfed in thick black smoke and flames. Men crowd into small rowing boats in the foreground while other sailing ships and smaller vessels sit on the darkening sea. The work is attributed to Konstantinos Volanakis and titled as the attack on the Turkish flagship in the Gulf of Eressos at Lesvos by a fire ship commanded by Dimitrios Papanikolis.
