"Naval Battle of the Strait of Shimonoseki" is a historical maritime painting by French artist Jean Baptiste Henri Durand-Brager (1814–1879). The artwork captures a significant event during the Shimonoseki Campaign, which took place in 1863-1864, where a coalition of Western naval forces engaged in military action against the Chōshū clan in the Shimonoseki Strait. Durand-Brager, known for his marine paintings, documented this encounter between the Western powers and the Japanese forces, reflecting the tensions and conflicts during the Bakumatsu period, the final years of the Edo period when Japan was moving towards the Meiji Restoration.

The painting is a vivid portrayal of the naval engagement, showcasing the might of the warships and the chaos of battle. It serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical record of the period's naval warfare. Durand-Brager's attention to detail provides insight into the military technology and tactics of the time, as well as the geopolitical struggles that led to the opening of Japan to the West.

The "Naval Battle of the Strait of Shimonoseki" is significant in its depiction of a pivotal moment in Japanese history, as it illustrates the conflict that contributed to the end of Japan's isolationist foreign policy. The artwork is an important cultural artifact that offers a European perspective on a critical event in the history of East-West relations. The painting's historical accuracy and artistic merit make it a valuable piece for both art historians and scholars of Japanese history.
