"The Grand Charge of the Guards on the Heights of the Alma during the Crimean War" is a historical painting by French artist Louis Huard, which vividly depicts the valiant assault by the British Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards against Russian forces during the Battle of the Alma on September 20, 1854. This battle was one of the first major engagements in the Crimean War, a conflict that pitted the forces of the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain, and Sardinia against the Russian Empire.

Huard's work captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield as the British Guards, renowned for their discipline and bravery, ascend the heights under heavy fire to break the Russian defensive lines. The painting is noted for its dramatic representation of the soldiers' uniforms and the dynamic composition that conveys the forward momentum of the charge. It serves as both an artistic interpretation and a historical document of the era, reflecting the military tactics, weaponry, and uniforms of the mid-19th century.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical value, as it commemorates a pivotal moment in the Crimean War, which had far-reaching consequences for European politics and military strategy. The charge of the British Guards at the Battle of Alma became emblematic of the courage and tenacity of the British Army and has been celebrated in various forms of art and literature. Huard's depiction contributes to the visual legacy of this event and offers insight into the public perception and romanticization of military heroism during the period.
