"Drake's Attack upon St. Domingo in 1585" is a historical painting by the American illustrator and author Howard Pyle (1853–1911). The artwork depicts the raid on Santo Domingo, the capital of the Spanish colony on the island of Hispaniola, by the English privateer Sir Francis Drake during the Elizabethan era. Pyle, renowned for his work in illustrating popular historical and adventure stories, created this piece as part of his contributions to the visual narrative of American and European history.

The painting is characterized by Pyle's attention to historical detail and his ability to convey dramatic intensity. It showcases the moment when Drake and his men launch their attack on the city, capturing the chaos and violence of the encounter. The work reflects Pyle's skill in storytelling through art, as he effectively portrays the action and emotion of the scene, allowing viewers to sense the urgency and danger of the historical event.

Howard Pyle was a prolific artist, and his illustrations were widely published in periodicals, books, and as standalone works of art. His influence extended to the Brandywine School of American illustration, and he taught and mentored several notable artists, including N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, and Jessie Willcox Smith. "Drake's Attack upon St. Domingo in 1585" is part of Pyle's legacy, contributing to his reputation as the "father of American illustration."

The painting not only serves as an artistic representation of a significant historical event but also reflects the late 19th and early 20th-century American interest in the romanticized depictions of European exploration and maritime adventure. As with many of Pyle's works, this painting is appreciated for both its artistic merit and its educational value, offering insight into the historical imagination of the period in which it was created.
