''The Battle of the Kearsarge and Alabama'' is an 1864 oil painting by the French artist Édouard Manet. The work depicts a naval engagement of the American Civil War between the USS Kearsarge and the CSS Alabama. The battle took place on June 19, 1864, off the coast of Cherbourg, France, and resulted in the sinking of the Alabama by the Kearsarge. Manet, who was in Paris at the time, was inspired by the reports and the excitement the battle generated in France, and he quickly produced several works on the subject.

This painting, which measures 134 cm × 127 cm (52.8 in × 50 in), is part of a series that captures the drama and intensity of the battle. Manet's interest in the subject matter was partly due to the spectacle of the conflict and partly because of the involvement of the French-built Alabama. The painting is renowned for its historical significance as well as its artistic merit, showcasing Manet's transition from Realism to Impressionism. The artist's use of loose brushwork to capture the sea's movement and the smoke of battle was a departure from the detailed and polished style typical of historical paintings of the time.

The work is characterized by its dramatic composition and the contrast between the calmness of the sea and the violence of the battle. Manet's rendering of the sea, with its varying shades of blue and green, creates a sense of depth and movement, while the plumes of smoke and the listing Alabama add to the painting's dynamic quality. The ''Battle of the Kearsarge and Alabama'' is considered an important work in Manet's oeuvre and a significant historical painting that captures a pivotal moment in naval warfare.

The painting is held in the collection of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic qualities and its depiction of a notable event in American history. Manet's work remains a valuable cultural artifact, reflecting the global interest in the American Civil War and the broader implications of the conflict on international politics and naval power during the 19th century.
