The $20 stamp is designed after a painting made by Thomas Somerscales (1842-1927) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Somerscales and show us the First Chilean Navy Squadron, the squadron was formed in 1817 with nine ships and the Squadron was decommissioned in 1826. I can’t find if the depicted ships on the painting have been identified. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Chi ... n#Build_up
The $600 stamp shows us also ships of the First Chilean Navy Squadron.
I found that the $600 stamp is designed after a painting showing the First Chilean Navy Squadron painted by Alvaro Casanova Zenteno (1857-1935) which shows four Chilean warships:
