label: Description
content: Perspective view of a naval battle scene. At center, a large ship is engulfed in vibrant flames, with smoke billowing from all sides. Two figures are shown falling off the sides of the vessel, with many more scattered in the waters surrounding the ship. Several wooden lifeboats line the right side, pulling figures from the water into their boats with rope. At left, the front half of another ship is vislbe, with a figure clinging to the main mast and another figure helping pull a man out of the water. More ships fill the nearby waters, several surrounded by smoke. A hilly shoreline is visible along the horizon, and a blue sky fills the top margin. Printed along bottom margin: Navalis praelii adspectus / Veduta d'una Battaglia di mare.
