"Buonaparte hearing of Nelson's Victory swears by his Sword to Extirpate the English from off the Earth" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, first published on October 21, 1798. The artwork is a response to the historic naval Battle of the Nile, where British forces under Admiral Horatio Nelson achieved a decisive victory against the French fleet, thereby undermining Napoleon Bonaparte's ambitions in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The print depicts a furious Napoleon Bonaparte, then a General and not yet Emperor of France, reacting to the news of Nelson's triumph. In a dramatic and exaggerated fashion typical of Gillray's style, Bonaparte is shown swearing an oath on his sword to destroy the English. The scene is rich with allegorical elements and caricature, emphasizing the emotional and political tension of the moment.

Gillray's work is a significant example of the power of visual satire during the late 18th century, a period marked by political upheaval and conflict. The print not only reflects the public sentiment and nationalistic fervor of the time but also serves as a historical document showcasing the role of art in shaping public opinion and political discourse.

As a prominent figure in the golden age of British caricature, James Gillray's works were widely circulated and influential, with "Buonaparte hearing of Nelson's Victory" standing as a testament to his mastery of the medium and his incisive commentary on the events of his day. The print remains an important piece of cultural heritage, offering insight into the historical context of the Napoleonic Wars and the enduring legacy of satirical art.
