De grote zeeslagen #5

Part of Glénat's "De grote zeeslagen" (The Great Naval Battles) series, this 2018 volume brings Jean-Yves Delitte's meticulous painted artistry to one of history's most dramatic clashes of iron and steam. The cover depicts a hulking ironclad warship flying a Confederate flag surging through choppy blue-green waters, with a second vessel and billowing sails visible in the background — a vivid evocation of the Battle of Hampton Roads. Delitte's richly detailed, oil-painting style gives these steel behemoths a genuine sense of weight and menace that naval history enthusiasts will find hard to resist.
