Anton Romako's painting of 'Admiral Tegetthoff in the Naval Battle of Lissa' is now celebrated as a visionary work, and is part of the canon of European art of the 19th century. This richly illustrated book traces the history of the picture and places it in the historical, military, and artistic context of its age.
