"News from Calabria: Capture of Buenos Ayres, or The Comforts of an Imperial Dejeune at St Clouds" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1806. The artwork is a commentary on the political and military events of the time, specifically focusing on the British capture of Buenos Aires during the Napoleonic Wars and the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte's reaction to the news.

The print depicts a scene at the imperial residence of St. Cloud, where Napoleon is shown receiving distressing news from Calabria, an area in southern Italy where his brother Joseph Bonaparte's rule was challenged by the local populace and British forces. The caricature captures the moment of Napoleon's shock and frustration while he is having breakfast, or "dejeune," hence the reference to "The Comforts of an Imperial Dejeune" in the title.

Gillray's work is characterized by its sharp wit and intricate detail, which was typical of his style. The artist was known for his ability to blend humor with political critique, and this print is no exception. It serves as a historical document that reflects the public sentiment and political tensions of early 19th-century Europe, as well as the British perspective on the global conflict with France.

As with many of Gillray's prints, "News from Calabria: Capture of Buenos Ayres, or The Comforts of an Imperial Dejeune at St Clouds" would have been circulated among the British public and would have contributed to the popular discourse on the events of the day. The print remains an important example of the power of visual satire in shaping public opinion and is studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance.
