"La Prise de Yorktown le 17 août 1781" is a significant historical painting by the French artist Louis-Charles-Auguste Couder, completed in 1836. This artwork is renowned for its depiction of the decisive moment during the American Revolutionary War when the combined forces of the American Continental Army, led by General George Washington, and the French Army, under the command of General Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau, secured a pivotal victory against the British forces at the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. This event effectively ended major military operations in the colonies, leading to the eventual recognition of American independence.

Couder's painting is celebrated for its meticulous attention to historical detail, vibrant portrayal of the characters, and its dramatic representation of the victory's significance, not just for American independence, but also for French prestige. The artwork serves as a testament to the Franco-American alliance that played a crucial role in the outcome of the Revolutionary War. It is housed in the Versailles Palace, within a series of galleries dedicated to glorifying France's military triumphs, emphasizing the painting's importance in French national heritage and its role in commemorating the shared history between France and the United States.

Through "La Prise de Yorktown le 17 août 1781," Couder not only captures a pivotal moment in history but also contributes to the romanticized narrative of the American Revolution in European art. The painting stands as a significant piece within the broader context of 19th-century historical artworks, reflecting the period's artistic movements and the political currents of the time, particularly the spirit of nationalism and the valorization of historical events that shaped the modern world.
