"The Death of Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar" is a monumental painting by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, completed in 1864. This grand historical work captures the dramatic and poignant moment of Admiral Lord Nelson's death during the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805, a pivotal naval engagement during the Napoleonic Wars. Maclise's painting is renowned for its meticulous attention to historical detail, emotional depth, and the artist's masterful use of composition and color to convey the gravity of the scene.

The painting was commissioned by the British government and is prominently displayed in the Royal Gallery of the Palace of Westminster in London. Measuring an impressive 12 feet by 27 feet, the work is a fresco, a technique involving the application of pigment onto freshly laid lime plaster, which was relatively unusual for British art at the time. Maclise spent several years researching and preparing for this project, consulting historical documents, eyewitness accounts, and even visiting the HMS Victory, Nelson's flagship, to ensure the accuracy of his depiction.

In "The Death of Nelson," Maclise portrays the moment when the mortally wounded Nelson is surrounded by his officers and crew, who express a range of emotions from grief to determination. The composition is carefully structured to draw the viewer's eye to Nelson, who lies at the center of the scene, bathed in a dramatic light that symbolizes his heroism and sacrifice. The surrounding figures are rendered with great detail, each contributing to the narrative of loss and valor.

Maclise's work is not only a tribute to Nelson but also a reflection of Victorian values and the era's fascination with national heroes and historical events. The painting remains a significant cultural artifact, offering insight into 19th-century British art and the enduring legacy of Admiral Nelson.
