"The Battle of Somah, 1839" is a historical painting by the French artist Horace Vernet, depicting a scene from the French conquest of Algeria. Vernet, known for his historical and military subjects, was a prominent painter in the 19th century, often commissioned to capture the grandeur and drama of battles and significant events of his time.

Completed in the same year as the battle, the painting captures the intensity and chaos of the conflict between French colonial forces and the Algerian resistance. The Battle of Somah was part of France's broader campaign to establish control over Algeria, which began in 1830 and lasted several decades, culminating in the establishment of Algeria as a French colony.

Vernet's work is characterized by its attention to detail and its attempt to convey the realism of the battle. His use of color, composition, and the portrayal of movement all serve to immerse the viewer in the scene. The painting not only reflects the military aspects of the battle but also hints at the broader implications of the conflict, including the themes of colonialism, empire, and the clash of cultures.

As a piece of historical documentation, "The Battle of Somah, 1839" offers insight into the period's military attire, weaponry, and tactics. It also reflects the 19th-century European perspective on colonial wars, which often glorified the expansionist efforts of imperial powers. The painting is a testament to Vernet's reputation as a painter of military prowess and his role in shaping the visual narrative of French military history.

Today, the painting is of interest not only to art historians but also to those studying the history of colonialism and the representation of historical events in art. It serves as a valuable primary source for understanding how such battles were perceived and portrayed in contemporary French society.
