THE SOLEBAY TAPESTRY
History of War
|Issue 108
This 17th-century artwork, part of a series of tapestries, depicts the dramatic climax of the first battle of the Third Anglo-Dutch War
-
The artworks, including The Burning of the Royal James, are the only known examples of 17th-century English tapestries showing a naval battle
Commissioned by Charles II and James, Duke of York (then Lord High Admiral and later James II), the Solebay Tapestry commemorates the Battle of Solebay fought off the coast of Suffolk on 28 May, 1672. The outcome proved inconclusive, with an alliance of English and French forces claiming victory because of the enemy’s withdrawal and the Dutch perceiving it as a win due to their success in stopping a planned Anglo-French blockade.
