"The Battle of Trafalgar, the Beginning of the Action 21st October 1805" is a notable work by French painter Ferdinand Loyen Du Puigaudeau (1864–1930), an artist renowned for his post-impressionist landscapes and marine scenes that often capture the ethereal beauty of the French countryside and coast. This particular painting delves into a historical theme, depicting the initial moments of the Battle of Trafalgar, a pivotal naval engagement fought near the coast of Cape Trafalgar, in southwestern Spain, on 21st October 1805. The battle was a decisive victory for the British Royal Navy, under the command of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, against the combined fleets of France and Spain, during the Napoleonic Wars. This victory significantly ensured British naval supremacy for over a century.

Du Puigaudeau's work stands out for its dynamic portrayal of the sea and the meticulous attention to the atmospheric conditions of the battle scene. Unlike his contemporaries, who might have focused on the heroism of individual figures or the detailed mechanics of the ships, Du Puigaudeau emphasizes the broader spectacle of the engagement and its setting. His use of light and color captures the tumultuous emotions and the chaotic energy of the battle's onset, making the painting not just a historical recount but a vivid, immersive experience.

Though primarily celebrated for his landscapes, in "The Battle of Trafalgar, the Beginning of the Action 21st October 1805," Du Puigaudeau demonstrates his versatility and his keen interest in national history and maritime heritage. This painting contributes to the visual historiography of the Napoleonic Wars, offering viewers a glimpse into the dramatic and turbulent era that shaped modern Europe. Through this work, Du Puigaudeau not only commemorates a significant moment in history but also showcases his profound ability to convey narrative and emotion through the medium of landscape and seascape painting.
