Description
English: HMS 'Howe' at Malta, by Giovanni Schranz. National Maritime Museum. Oil painting, previously attributed as 'John Schranz', but Giovanni is the style now generally used. The ship is shown in port broadside view, from slightly off the bow, looking seaward, with a dghaisa to the left and what is probably Fort St Angelo, with its distinctive turret on the waterfront bastion, rear right. There is no visible signature and while a decorative, boldly colourful and competent ship portrait, the rather solid handling suggests it may be by Schranz pupil or follower rather than definitely by him. The 'Howe' shown -though the identity needs confirmation- is presumably the 120-gun three-decker of 1815 broken up in 1854, since her successor of 1860 was never fitted for sea service. [PvdM 10/16] Date probably 1843.

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1882, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
