"The Battle of Taillebourg" is an oil on canvas painting by the renowned French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created between 1834 and 1835. This historical work of art depicts the pivotal moment from the Battle of Taillebourg, which was fought on July 21, 1242, during the Saintonge War between the forces of King Louis IX of France (Saint Louis) and those of Henry III of England. The battle was a significant victory for the French and is considered an important event in the Capetian consolidation of power.

Delacroix, known for his expressive brushwork and study of the optical effects of color, brings to life the drama and intensity of medieval warfare. The painting showcases his mastery in portraying movement and his ability to capture the emotional fervor of battle, characteristics that have come to define the Romantic movement in art. The dynamic composition, vivid colors, and the contrast between the valor of the knights and the chaos of the conflict reflect Delacroix's fascination with the heroic and the theatrical.

Measuring at an impressive scale, the painting was commissioned by the French government as part of a series of works intended to glorify French history in the Palais Bourbon, Paris. It is a testament to Delacroix's status as a leading artist of his time and his commitment to depicting historical subjects with a modern sensibility. "The Battle of Taillebourg" is not only a significant work in Delacroix's oeuvre but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the 19th-century French nationalistic spirit and the Romantic period's artistic trends.

Today, "The Battle of Taillebourg" is held in high regard and can be viewed at the Musée du Louvre in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and artistic excellence.
