Les grandes batailles navales #[8]

Part of Glénat's sweeping Les Grandes Batailles Navales series, this volume turns its attention to the Battle of Texel through the lens of the celebrated privateer Jean Bart. Jean-Yves Delitte's cover painting is a breathtaking close-up of two towering warships locked in the chaos of combat — gilded stern galleries gleaming against storm-dark skies, rigging tangled and sails straining as the vessels crash through churning seas. Published in 2018 with the backing of the Musée National de la Marine, it's a beautifully crafted tribute to the age of sail and the daring men who shaped it.
