"The Storm Rising or The Republican Flotilla in Danger" is a notable political caricature by the British artist and caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1793. As a prominent figure in the history of satirical art, Gillray's work often reflected the political climate of his time, and this particular print is no exception. The piece serves as a commentary on the precarious position of the French Republic's naval forces during the early stages of the French Revolutionary Wars.

In the caricature, Gillray depicts a fleet of small, fragile-looking French ships being tossed about by a tumultuous sea, with the storm clouds above symbolizing the growing threat of the British Royal Navy. The image is rich with allegory and metaphor, as was typical of Gillray's style, and it conveys a sense of impending doom for the French Republican forces. The work reflects the nationalistic fervor and anti-French sentiment that was prevalent in Britain at the time, as well as the public's perception of the French military's vulnerability.

"The Storm Rising or The Republican Flotilla in Danger" is an example of Gillray's adeptness at using humor and exaggeration to critique and convey political messages. His caricatures were widely circulated and influential, contributing to the public discourse on politics and society. This piece, like many of Gillray's works, remains an important historical document that offers insight into the political tensions and cultural attitudes of the late 18th century. It is held in high regard by historians and art critics alike for its artistic merit and its significance as a piece of political satire.
