"Michael Faraday Delivering His Christmas Lecture on 27 December 1855 Before Prince Albert, Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred" is an oil painting by Alexander Blaikley, depicting the eminent scientist Michael Faraday (1791–1867) as he presents one of his renowned Christmas Lectures at the Royal Institution. Faraday, a prolific scientist known for his foundational work in electromagnetism and electrochemistry, began the tradition of Christmas Lectures in 1825, aiming to engage and educate the public, particularly young people, in the wonders of science.

The painting captures a significant moment in the history of science communication, with Faraday standing before an illustrious audience that includes Prince Albert (1819–61), the husband of Queen Victoria, and their sons, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) (1841–1910), and Prince Alfred. The inclusion of the royal family underscores the importance of Faraday's work and the high regard in which he was held by society at the time.

Blaikley's work is not only a testament to Faraday's legacy as a communicator but also serves as a historical document, providing insight into the intersection of science, education, and social hierarchy in Victorian England. The painting is a celebration of intellectual achievement and the dissemination of knowledge, themes that resonate with Faraday's own values and contributions to the scientific community.

The Christmas Lectures continue to this day at the Royal Institution, maintaining Faraday's mission to inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity about the natural world. Blaikley's painting remains a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of Faraday's Christmas Lectures and the power of science to captivate audiences across generations and social strata.
