– Fantastic depiction of the naval Battle of Haiyang Island during the Sino-Japanese War. An explosion rocks a Chinese ship at right, severing the mast and sending enemy sailors tumbling into the frothing water below. Other Chinese fall over the bow of the ship as another shot explodes, clouds of smoke billowing all around the ship as it begins to sink. At left, smaller boats carry Japanese soldiers towards the floundering vessel, with warships at left. An incredible, dramatic design, detailed with fine bokashi shading and a dusting of mica across the sea.
Artist – Inagaki Gado (According to Rijksmuseum Amsterdam)
