Click-to-enlarge image can be found here, or here. A smaller enlargement can be found at the only work, by this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.Admiral Tegetthoff in the Battle of Lissa II (links show Wikipedia pages; though the 1866 battle was the second such, the Roman numeral has nothing to do with the battle number — it’s the painting number), is shown, with a different coloration image, by its current-location page (Google translated).But there’s a problem with that, the dimensions. The above artist link points to the summary of a book about him. It says he painted this scene twice, both are oil on panel. The first is denoted by Lissa I and the second by Lissa II in its title; in the first, the figure on the left holds a spyglass, in the second he has drawn his sword. It spends a paragraph summarizing the book’s chapter describing the paintings — an entire book (available online, if you’re interested) has been written about them.The dimensions given in the current-location page are 87 × 48 cm, roughly a 9 × 5 scale, and it says it’s the Lissa I painting (has the correct date for it). This (Google translation loses some formatting), describing an exhibition which included the Lissa II painting, on loan from the same current-location, says its dimensions are 23.5 × 17.5 cm, roughly a 4 × 3 scale. The dimensions of the current-location page image are 600 × 451 pixels, in line with Lissa II, not Lissa I.The dimensions of the click-to-enlarge image, accompanying the current-location description (Google translated), are 1772 × 953 pixels, roughly a 9 × 5 scale — the actual Lissa I painting. I’ve written the current-location; perhaps that image will replace what’s currently shown by the current-location page. The artist’s Wikipedia page and collection.
In the Navy, yes, you can sail the seven seas. In the Navy, yes, you can put your mind at ease. In the Navy, come on now people, make a stand. In the Navy, can’t you see we need a hand. In the Navy, come on, protect the motherland. In the Navy, come on and join your fellow, man. In the Navy, come on, people, and make a stand. In the Navy, in the Navy.
One doesn’t think of the Austrian Navy, but they owned the Adriatic coast until the Italians united. WWI really did them in, and now they might as well be Switzerland..

If this was ‘Star Trek’, they’d be moving backwards and forwards like in Voyage to the ‘Bottom of the Sea’.
