The Biggest naval battle of Spanish-American war, called Battle of Santiago de Cuba. The whole war went very unfortunate for Spain and This was a end of the hundreds years old Spanish empire, it was year 1898.
I think Its an interesting moment in history and I also like the design of the ships from this age. Especially this cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa. It was sunk with all other Spanish ships.

Done in photoshop with the help of wacom tablet. It was quiet slow picture done in about two weeks evenings. Spend ages on the old photos and plans for this ship.

Very impressive! :omg:

The battleship in the background looks like the USS Oregon, one of my favorite pre-dreadnought ship designs.

Simply wonderfull. It's very hard to find any picture of naval combat from that era, especially of this quality.

It's nice to see Spain's warships of the day get some attention.

Ironclads are always a lovely looking class of ships.

Yeah the attack of the USA against the only naval power weaker than it's own at the time I believe. Yep. And nice drawing. Always love your battle scenes.

I generally love your artwork. But this one is outstanding, especially the beautiful contrast between the shadows on the side of the ship and the nice lighting effects of the sun on the deck and the guns. Amazing.
