"Duke of Angoulême at the Capture of Trocadero" is a significant historical painting by the French artist Hippolyte (Paul) Delaroche, completed in 1823. Delaroche, renowned for his meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy, captures a pivotal moment in French military history with this work. The painting commemorates the successful siege of the Spanish fort of Trocadero by French forces under the command of Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, during the French intervention in Spain.

The capture of Trocadero was a crucial event during the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis expedition, which aimed to restore King Ferdinand VII of Spain to the throne after a liberal revolution had deposed him. The French forces, loyal to the Bourbon monarchy, launched a decisive assault on the fortified island of Trocadero near Cádiz on August 31, 1823. The victory was celebrated in France as a triumph of monarchical legitimacy over revolutionary forces.

Delaroche's painting is notable for its dramatic composition and the dignified portrayal of the Duke of Angoulême. The Duke is depicted as a calm and resolute leader, embodying the virtues of courage and leadership. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the sense of drama and underscores the significance of the event. The painting also reflects the Romantic era's fascination with historical subjects and the heroism of individual figures.

The work is an excellent example of Delaroche's ability to blend historical narrative with artistic expression, making it a valuable piece for both art historians and those interested in the political history of early 19th-century Europe. The painting remains an important cultural artifact, offering insight into the period's artistic and historical milieu.
