"The Great Fire of London in the Year of 1666" is a historical painting by Jan Griffier the Elder, a Dutch Golden Age artist known for his landscapes and maritime scenes. The painting depicts the catastrophic event of the Great Fire of London, which occurred from September 2 to September 6, 1666, and destroyed a large part of the City of London, including most of the civic buildings, old St. Paul's Cathedral, and thousands of houses.

Griffier, who lived in London from about 1660 to 1672, would have witnessed the fire and its aftermath firsthand. His work serves as a visual documentation of the event and reflects the dramatic impact it had on the cityscape and its inhabitants. The painting is characterized by its detailed representation of the fire's destructive force, with flames engulfing buildings and smoke billowing into the sky, while residents flee and firefighters attempt to quell the blaze.

As an artist, Griffier was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the scenes he depicted. "The Great Fire of London in the Year of 1666" is a testament to his skills as a landscape painter and stands as an important historical record of one of the most significant events in London's history. The artwork not only provides insight into the event itself but also offers a glimpse into the 17th-century London and the Baroque artistic style that Griffier embraced.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides a contemporary account of the Great Fire, which reshaped the urban landscape of London and had far-reaching effects on urban development, building regulations, and fire-fighting techniques. It remains an important work for both art historians and historians of London, encapsulating the interplay between art and history in the early modern period.
