- Lot Description
Charles J Lundgren (New York, Connecticut, 1911 - 1988) "Warspite" Signed lower right. Oil on Masonite.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood Proofcard for the Great Britain Maritime stamps issued June 16, 1982.
By the onset of World War II, both the Warspite and her commander, Admiral Lord Cunningham, had already tallied several distinguished decades serving the Royal Navy. The enemy Italian Fleet soon learned to fear this experienced duo ... and with good reason. What made the 30,600 ton Warspite one of the deadliest warships of the Mediterranean was her massive fifteen-inch guns, which in the battle of Calabria on July 9, 1940, inflicted the first real shock to the Italian Navy. This occurred when the Warspite hit the battleship Giulio Cesare at the impressive range of fifteen miles. The Warspite's unusual, long-range hit had failed to sink the vessel, but Cunningham found that it was to have "moral effect quite out of proportion to the damage." Never again would the Italian Navy willingly confront the fire of British battleships. Cunningham's aggressiveness ultimately won the Mediterranean for the British, and in September 1943, he witnessed the surrender of the demoralized Italian Fleet in what he called "a most moving and thrilling sight." His flagship Warspite, "which had struck the first blow against the Italians three years before," led "her erstwhile opponents to Malta into captivity." Cunningham once indicated his deep respect for his old friend Warspite in a light-hearted message praising her speed: "Operation well carried out. There is no doubt that when the old lady lifts her skirt, she can run."
