"Braddock's Retreat on 9th July 1755, 1865" is a historical painting by the American artist Alonzo Chappel. Known for his detailed and evocative historical scenes, Chappel's work captures significant moments in American history with a focus on accuracy and dramatic effect. This particular painting depicts the chaotic and desperate retreat of British forces under the command of General Edward Braddock during the Battle of the Monongahela, which took place on July 9, 1755, during the French and Indian War.

The Battle of the Monongahela was a critical and devastating encounter for the British and colonial troops. General Braddock's expedition aimed to capture the French Fort Duquesne, located at the forks of the Ohio River (present-day Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).

The surprise attack led to heavy casualties and disarray among Braddock's troops, culminating in a hasty and disorganized retreat.

The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the soldiers' uniforms, the landscape, and the expressions of fear and determination on the faces of the retreating men. The composition of the painting effectively conveys the sense of urgency and chaos that characterized the retreat, with figures in various states of distress and injury.
