Throughout the Second World War, Australia had felt the full force of the Axis powers across every conceivable theatre of conflict. It was within the naval arena that Australia saw some of the fiercest and deadliest fighting in the war. In the vast expanse of the ocean, the rules of warfare could be challenged and often broken. Nowhere was this more acutely seen than with the loss of the HMAS Sydney II. Under the guise of a merchant vessel, the German cruiser Kormoran opened fire on an unsuspecting Sydney. All 645 lives were lost and with them, the innocence of a nation. Discovered in 2008, the wreck of the HMAS Sydney remains a symbol of the heroism which defines the Anzac legend. Now the courage of Sydney’s crew is honoured in ‘Australia’s Finest Lost At Sea 1941 -1942 Gallery Editions Print,’ an heirloom-quality featuring the art of Ian Hansen, one Australia’s premiere maritime artists.
Ian Hansen's poignant art depicts HMAS Sydney II sailing to engage German cruiser Kormoran in a battle that would create Australia's greatest naval tragedy and mystery. Below, Robert Todonai’s reminds us of the sacrifice of the two other heroic losses - the HMAS Kuttabul and HMAS Armidale. Triple-layer matting uplift the art, which is presented on archival quality paper stock. Singularly impressive at 68cm high x 55cm wide, the print is presented in a classic hardwood frame, with its rich inclusions protected by a clear viewing pane so that future generations can enjoy the witnessing the birth of our nation. Includes Two 24K gold-layered commemoratives coins that honours the sailors of HMAS Kuttabul and HMAS Armidale.
