"The Sinking of the Lusitania" is a notable oil painting by British artist Charles John de Lacy (1856–1929), who was renowned for his maritime and battle scenes. This particular work, created in 1915, captures the tragic moment on May 7, 1915, when the RMS Lusitania, a British ocean liner, was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-boat during World War I. The event marked a significant point in the war, contributing to the shift in public opinion and influencing the eventual entry of the United States into the conflict in 1917.

De Lacy's painting is a dramatic and poignant representation of the Lusitania's final moments. It depicts the ship in its death throes, with smoke billowing from its funnels and the hull listing dramatically as lifeboats are lowered into the chaotic sea. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the emotion and turmoil of the scene make this work an important historical record as well as a piece of art.

The painting serves not only as a memorial to the approximately 1,198 lives lost in the disaster but also as a piece of wartime propaganda, emphasizing the perceived barbarity of the attack on a passenger liner. "The Sinking of the Lusitania" by Charles John de Lacy is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its historical significance, offering insight into the public sentiment and the propagandist efforts of the time. It remains an evocative reminder of the human cost of war and the power of art to capture and communicate complex historical events.
