Frégate “La Junon” | 19th Century Print on Glass

A striking 19th century print on glass depicting the French frigate La Junon, shown under full sail against a dramatic, darkened sky. Rendered with fine detail and a rich, saturated palette, the composition captures both the grandeur and tension of naval life during the age of sail.

The image is reverse-printed on glass, a technique prized for its depth, luminosity, and jewel-like surface, particularly when paired with darker backgrounds. The French tricolour flying at the stern adds a vivid focal point, while the ship’s elegant rigging and billowing sails are meticulously delineated.

Presented in a simple wooden frame that complements the period character of the piece, this work functions equally as maritime art and as a decorative historical object. Ideal for a study, library, or layered wall arrangement, it brings narrative, movement, and a sense of adventure to an interior.
