The Battle of Trafalgar (Stanfield)

The Battle of Trafalgar is an 1836 history painting by the British artist Clarkson Stanfield. It depicts the 1805 naval Battle of Trafalgar in which the Royal Navy led by Horatio Nelson defeated a combined Franco-Spanish fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. The painting was commissioned by the United Service Club and represented a major milestone in Clarkson's career.

The work was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition in 1836. An engraving based on Stanfield's work was produced by William Miller, a copy of which is held by the National Maritime Museum.
