PERUVIAN NAVY ATTACKS GUAYAQUIL 1828 UNKNOWN ARTIST, ANGLO-AMERICAN SCHOOL, c.1830 The Bombardment of Guayaquil, 24 November 1828 oil on canvas, 17 x 22 3/4 in; within reproduction carved and gilded frame In 1828, war broke out between the Republic of Peru (which had gained its independence from Spain in 1821) and the Republic of Gran Colombia (Colombia, Ecuador and Panama being the successor states at its dissolution in 1831) over conflicting land claims over territory that is now part of present-day Ecuador. The first engagement took place on August 31st when the Peruvian corvette Libertad (seen to the left in this painting) fought off an attack by two Columbian ships while on blockade duty near the port of Guayaquil. Both the Peruvian and Columbian navies were largely manned by Anglo-Americans, the former commanded by Admiral Jorge Martin Guise (Martin George Guise, a former British Royal Navy officer). Guise's squadron opened the bombardment of the city's defenses on November 22 and had successfully silenced most of the defending naval vessels and land batteries until his flagship, the frigate Presidente, ran aground on the night of the 23rd and the defenders began to counterattack. The following morning, the Presidente was refloated and, as seen in this painting, was forcing her way into port when Admiral Guise was mortally wounded. The Peruvian forces withdrew, although continued the siege until the city capitulated on January 19, 1829. This is the only known contemporary painting of this important battle, one which helped shape the political borders of South America today.All lots are sold "AS IS" The condition of lots can vary widely and are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. *No credit card payments will be accepted for silver, gold, or jewelry from buyers that have not purchased from our gallery in the past.
