The Charge of the 3rd Light Horse Brigade at the Nek, 7 August 1915 is an iconic oil on canvas painting by renowned Australian artist George Lambert. Executed in 1924, the artwork commemorates a key event during the Gallipoli Campaign of World War I. Specifically, it depicts a tragic incident where members of the Australian 3rd Light Horse Brigade were ordered to charge against well-fortified Turkish trenches at a locale known as "the Nek," a ridge position on the Gallipoli Peninsula.

The painting's dimensions of 61.7 x 92.2 cm balances the somber narrative by encapsulating the intensity and futility of the moment. Lambert’s masterful use of color and light reflects the early dawn, highlighting the vulnerability of the soldiers against the barren, inhospitable landscape. The positioning of charging soldiers alludes to their bravery and tenacity, while simultaneously emphasizing the overwhelming odds they faced.

Lambert wasn't present at the event, yet he interviewed survivors and studied the battlefield personally to create a composed, though emotive representation. The emphasis on realism and dramatic representation has made it an instrumental piece in illustrating Australia’s war experience. Today, the painting is part of the collection at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra, serving as a poignant reminder of the bravery, sacrifice, and tragic loss of life during military conflict.
