"A Lost Cause: The Flight of James II, 1633-1701, after the Battle of Boyne in 1690" is a historical painting by the Scottish artist Andrew Carrick Gow. Completed in 1888, the artwork captures a pivotal moment in British and Irish history, depicting the deposed King James II fleeing from the battlefield after his defeat at the Battle of the Boyne. This battle, which took place on July 1, 1690, was a decisive encounter in the Williamite War in Ireland, pitting the Catholic James II against his Protestant son-in-law and nephew, William III of England, who had usurped the English throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

Gow's painting is a dramatic representation of the aftermath of this conflict, illustrating the moment when James II's attempt to reclaim his throne was thwarted, leading to his permanent exile in France. The artwork is notable for its historical accuracy, attention to detail, and the emotional resonance it conveys through the depiction of the defeated king and his followers. The somber mood of the painting reflects the theme of a lost cause, as James II's defeat effectively ended his reign and solidified William III's position as the king of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Andrew Carrick Gow (1848–1920) was a respected historical genre painter, known for his meticulous research and skillful execution in portraying scenes from British history.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit as well as its educational value, providing insight into the events and characters that shaped the course of history during this era.
