"Battle of Chesapeake Bay" is a historical maritime painting by American artist Julian Oliver Davidson (1853–1894), which vividly depicts the pivotal naval engagement between the French fleet, led by Admiral de Grasse, and the British fleet, commanded by Admiral Graves, during the American Revolutionary War. This battle, also known as the Battle of the Capes, took place near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on September 5, 1781, and was crucial in securing American independence.

Davidson, known for his marine art and illustrations, captures the intensity and strategic importance of the battle in his work. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, with detailed renderings of the ships and the turbulent sea, conveying the chaos and ferocity of the naval confrontation. The artwork serves not only as a visual representation of the historic event but also as a testament to Davidson's skill in maritime artistry and his commitment to historical accuracy.

The Battle of Chesapeake Bay was a decisive moment in the war, as the victory by the French fleet prevented the British from reinforcing or evacuating the troops of General Cornwallis at Yorktown, leading to the British surrender and the eventual end of the war. Davidson's painting is an homage to this turning point and remains an important work for its artistic merit and its depiction of a significant event in American history.

While the painting is a notable work within Davidson's oeuvre, it also contributes to the broader genre of maritime art and historical painting, reflecting the cultural and patriotic values of the era in which it was created. The "Battle of Chesapeake Bay" by Julian Oliver Davidson holds a place in art history as a representation of American and naval themes from the late 19th century.
