"The Death of Nelson" is a historically significant oil painting by the English artist Arthur William Devis, completed in 1807. The artwork commemorates the demise of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, one of Britain's most revered naval heroes, who was mortally wounded during the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805. This battle was a pivotal naval engagement between the British Royal Navy and the combined fleets of the French and Spanish Navies during the Napoleonic Wars.

Devis's painting captures the poignant moment aboard HMS Victory as Nelson lies dying, surrounded by concerned officers and sailors. The composition is carefully constructed to evoke the emotional intensity of the event, with Nelson's figure draped in a flag and bathed in a soft light that highlights his pallor and the gravity of the moment. The artist took liberties with historical accuracy to enhance the dramatic effect and to emphasize the heroism and pathos of Nelson's death.

Arthur William Devis, born in 1762 and passing away in 1822, was known for his portraits and historical scenes. In "The Death of Nelson," he combines these genres to create a work that is both a personal tribute and a nationalistic statement. The painting serves as an important cultural artifact, reflecting the period's values of bravery, sacrifice, and loyalty, and it contributes to the mythologizing of Nelson as a British icon.

The painting is notable for its attention to detail and its use of light and color to convey the solemn atmosphere aboard the ship. It has been analyzed for its historical and artistic significance and remains an important work for understanding British art and history of the early 19th century. "The Death of Nelson" by Arthur William Devis is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to engage with this moving representation of a defining moment in British naval history.
