"A View in Oheitepha Bay on the Island of Otaheite, from Captain Cook's Last Voyage" is a notable artwork by John Webber, an English artist who served as the official landscape and topographical artist on Captain James Cook's third and final voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Created in 1809, this piece is part of a larger body of work that documents the landscapes, peoples, and cultures encountered during the expedition, which took place from 1776 to 1780.

The painting depicts a serene view of Oheitepha Bay (often referred to as Matavai Bay) on the island of Tahiti, known to Europeans at the time as Otaheite. This bay was a significant location during Cook's voyages, serving as an anchorage point for the HMS Resolution and the HMS Discovery. Webber's work captures the tranquil beauty of the bay, with its lush tropical vegetation and calm waters, framed by the dramatic backdrop of Tahiti's mountainous terrain.

John Webber's role as the voyage artist was to provide visual records of the places visited, and his artworks are considered some of the most accurate and valuable historical records of the Pacific from that era. "A View in Oheitepha Bay on the Island of Otaheite, from Captain Cook's Last Voyage" is not only an important piece of art history but also an invaluable document for anthropologists, historians, and those interested in the early European exploration of the Pacific Islands.

The artwork is a testament to the cross-cultural encounters of the 18th century and reflects the European fascination with the "exotic" landscapes and peoples of the Pacific. Today, it is held in high regard for its artistic merit as well as its contribution to the historical record of Captain Cook's explorations, offering insight into the world as it was seen through the eyes of an 18th-century European artist.
