"The Death of Nelson" is a monumental painting by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise (1806–1870), completed in 1859-1864 and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1865. This work of art is a historical genre painting that depicts the demise of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, one of Britain's most revered naval heroes, during the Battle of Trafalgar on October 21, 1805. Maclise's canvas is renowned for its grand scale, measuring approximately 4.5 meters by 3 meters, and for its meticulous attention to historical detail, which the artist achieved through extensive research.

The painting captures the poignant moment aboard HMS Victory when Nelson, fatally wounded by a French sniper, is surrounded by his concerned officers and sailors in the midst of battle. Maclise's composition is dramatic and crowded, filled with figures expressing a range of emotions from grief to stoic resolve, reflecting the chaotic and emotional nature of the event. The artist's use of chiaroscuro and the stark contrasts between the light illuminating Nelson and the surrounding darkness enhance the theatricality of the scene.

Daniel Maclise was known for his historical and literary subjects, and "The Death of Nelson" is considered one of his masterpieces. The work reflects the Victorian fascination with heroism and the glorification of national figures. It is also notable for its historical accuracy; Maclise conducted thorough research to ensure that the details of uniforms, weapons, and the ship's interior were faithfully represented.

"The Death of Nelson" is held in the collection of the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it remains an important example of mid-19th-century British historical painting. The piece not only serves as a tribute to Admiral Nelson and the British Royal Navy but also stands as a testament to the era's artistic and cultural values.
