"The Battle of Molino del Rey" is an oil on canvas painting by the renowned Mexican artist Juan Ceballos Escalante. Completed in 1875, the artwork symbolizes one of the pivotal moments of the invasion by the United States, in the context of the-American War (1846-1848).

Drawing on historical themes, Escalante vividly portrays the fierce engagement which took place on September 8, 1847, specifically at Molino del Rey, located near Mexico City. Mexico's army made an arduous attempt to defend the national territory, fighting against superior forces under US General Winfield Scott's command.

The scale of the painting and profound detail serve to emphasize the turmoil and violence of the clash, reflecting a significant event in Mexico's history. Demonstrations of courage and hardship witnessed in the battle are depicted through individual figures and groups, each ostensibly encapsulating the spirit of Mexican resistance.

Cast in somber tones and characterized by expressive brushwork, Escalante's painting is a commemorative piece that transcends its historical backdrop, offering a critical retrospective on the consequences of war.

"The Battle of Molino del Rey" stands as an important work within Escalante's oeuvre and continues to be an object of study due to the layers of artistic and historical significance it holds. The painting is currently housed in the Museo Nacional de Arte, Mexico City, where it remains an emblematic piece in the permanent collection, resonating with both domestic audiences and international visitors alike.
