"The Siege of Havana in 1762" is a series of paintings created by the French-born British artist Dominic Serres, who is renowned for his maritime and naval scenes. Completed in 1767, these works vividly depict the British capture of Havana during the Seven Years' War, a significant conflict that reshaped colonial power dynamics in the Caribbean. Serres, who had firsthand experience as a sailor before turning to painting, brought a unique authenticity and attention to detail to his maritime subjects, which is evident in this series.

The Siege of Havana was a pivotal event in the Seven Years' War, occurring from June to August 1762. The British forces, under the command of Admiral Sir George Pocock and General George Keppel, successfully besieged and captured the Spanish-held city of Havana, which was a crucial naval base and a gateway to the Spanish colonies in the Americas. The fall of Havana had far-reaching consequences, leading to significant territorial exchanges between Britain and Spain in the Treaty of Paris (1763).

Serres' paintings capture various stages of the siege, from the initial naval bombardment to the eventual surrender of the Spanish forces. His works are celebrated for their dynamic composition, meticulous attention to the ships' rigging and armament, and the dramatic portrayal of the battle's intensity. These paintings not only serve as historical records but also as masterpieces of 18th-century maritime art, reflecting the artist's deep understanding of naval warfare and his ability to convey the grandeur and chaos of such events.

Dominic Serres was a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts, and his contributions to naval painting have left a lasting legacy. "The Siege of Havana in 1762" series stands as a testament to his skill and his role in documenting British naval history through art.
