"The Battle of Germantown at Chew House in 1777, c.1860" is a historical painting by American artist Alonzo Chappel, created circa 1860. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment during the American Revolutionary War, specifically the Battle of Germantown that took place on October 4, 1777. This engagement was part of the Philadelphia campaign and occurred just weeks after the British victory at the Battle of Brandywine.

Alonzo Chappel (1828–1887) was known for his historical and genre paintings, often focusing on significant events and figures in American history. His work on the Battle of Germantown is particularly notable for its attention to historical detail and its attempt to capture the intensity and chaos of the conflict. The painting centers on the action around the Chew House, also known as Cliveden, which served as a stronghold for British troops during the battle and was fiercely attacked by American forces.

Chappel's painting is an example of mid-19th-century American historical art, a genre that sought to create a visual narrative of the nation's past, often imbued with a sense of romanticism and national pride. The artwork serves not only as a piece of artistic expression but also as a visual document that reflects the historical understanding and sentiment of the period in which it was created.

The Battle of Germantown at Chew House in 1777 is part of a larger body of work by Chappel that contributed to the collective memory of American history in the years following the Civil War, a time when the nation was grappling with its identity and the legacy of its founding events. As with many of Chappel's paintings, this work would have been widely disseminated through engravings and prints, helping to shape the public's perception of the Revolutionary War and its heroes.

Today, the painting is of interest to historians, art enthusiasts, and the general public alike, as it offers insight into both the historical event it portrays and the cultural context of the United States in the mid-19th century.
