"Sieige of Yorktown, 17th October 1781, 1836" is a significant historical painting by French artist Louis Charles Auguste Couder, completed in 1836. The artwork depicts the decisive moment during the American Revolutionary War when the combined American and French forces, led by General George Washington and the Comte de Rochambeau respectively, successfully besieged British troops commanded by General Lord Charles Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia. This event, which culminated on October 17, 1781, marked the end of major military operations in the colonies and paved the way for American independence.

Couder's painting is notable for its grand scale and meticulous detail, capturing the intensity and gravity of the moment when Cornwallis's forces found themselves surrounded and ultimately compelled to surrender. The work is part of a series of paintings commissioned for the Galerie des Batailles (Gallery of Battles) in the Palace of Versailles, which was created by King Louis-Philippe of France to celebrate French military successes. "Siege of Yorktown" stands as a testament to the international dimension of the American Revolution, highlighting the critical role of French assistance in securing American victory.

The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, the precise rendering of military uniforms and equipment, and the dynamic composition that conveys the urgency of battle. Through this historic scene, Couder not only immortalizes a pivotal moment in American and French history but also demonstrates his skill as a history painter, adept at translating the spectacle of war onto canvas. Today, the painting remains an important cultural artifact, offering viewers a window into the past and an artistic interpretation of a key event that shaped the trajectory of Western political history.
