The Battle of Trafalgar | Thomas Buttersworth | 19th Century

The painting depicts the Battle of Trafalgar, a significant naval engagement fought on 21 October 1805, during the Napoleonic Wars. The scene is charged with action and drama, capturing both the beginning and the end of the battle. The sea is tumultuous, with high waves indicating the battle’s violent nature under a stormy and foreboding sky. Dominating the foreground are several large ships engaged in combat, likely representing the British Royal Navy and the allied fleets of France and Spain. Their sails are full and cannons fire, enveloping the ships in smoke. Flags of different nations can be seen flying high, indicating the nationalities of the vessels engaged in this pivotal conflict.
