"Hougoumont" is a painting by Eyre Crowe (1824–1910), a British artist known for his historical and genre paintings. The work depicts the Château de Hougoumont, a significant site during the Battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. This battle was a pivotal moment in European history, marking the end of the Napoleonic Wars and leading to a reshaping of the continent's political landscape.

Crowe's painting captures the intensity and drama of the battle, focusing on the fortified farm that was a key position for the Duke of Wellington's army. The château and its surrounding area witnessed fierce fighting, particularly as French troops attempted to breach its defenses. The British and allied forces, including soldiers from the King's German Legion, held the farm throughout the day, contributing to Napoleon's eventual defeat.

Eyre Crowe's attention to historical detail and his ability to convey the emotion and turmoil of battle scenes are evident in "Hougoumont." The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual historical record, reflecting the artist's interest in the events that shaped his era.

As a historical painter, Crowe often drew upon significant events and figures from the past to create his works. His paintings were typically characterized by careful research and a desire to accurately represent the subject matter. "Hougoumont" is a testament to Crowe's dedication to historical accuracy and his skill in bringing the past to life through his art.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit as well as its historical representation. It contributes to the understanding of the Battle of Waterloo and the broader Napoleonic period, offering viewers a glimpse into the chaos and heroism of one of the 19th century's most famous battles. Through "Hougoumont," Eyre Crowe has left a lasting legacy that continues to inform and inspire interest in this crucial moment in European history.
