Why choose the print
A hand-painted canvas is unique and carries visible brushwork; it also costs considerably more and no two are identical. A print gives you the exact image shown, at a price that makes sense if you are filling a wall, furnishing a rental, or buying more than one.
For a hallway, a stairwell, or a room where the piece will be seen from a distance rather than examined closely, the difference is smaller than the price gap suggests.
The battle
John Paul Jones fought HMS Serapis off Flamborough Head on 23 September 1779 in a ship that was falling apart under him. He lashed the two vessels together, fought for three hours by moonlight, and took the British frigate — then abandoned his own sinking ship and sailed home in the prize.
