Portrait of John Barry (1745-1803) is a significant work of art by the noted American artist, Alonzo Chappel. Based on historical accounts, it is believed to portray Commodore John Barry, an officer in the Continental Navy during the American Revolutionary War and later in the United States Navy.

Chappel, born in 1828, was renowned for his historical and military paintings. His interpretation of John Barry is highly regarded for its realism and historical accuracy, despite being created over 40 years after Barry's death. The portrait showcases Barry in military dress, possibly intended to depict him at the height of his naval career.

Showing a rich command of detail and color, Chappel evokes the gravitas and character of a man widely considered the 'Father of the American Navy'. As is characteristic of Chappel's oeuvre, the work not only serves as a portrayal of a historic personage, but also as a narrative piece; telling the story of the subject's life and times through nuanced details.

Like many of Chappel's pieces, this artwork was created using oil on canvas, a medium which allowed the artist to create a high level of detail and depth throughout the painting. Alonzo Chappel's 'Portrait of John Barry (1745-1803)' is, thus, a notable example of historical portraiture and a valuable artifact that contributes to our understanding of United States naval history.
