"The Taking of Marshall Tallard and Pushing 4000 Horses into the Danube at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704" is a historical painting by the French artist Louis Laguerre, depicting a pivotal moment in the Battle of Blenheim. The battle, fought on August 13, 1704, was a major engagement of the War of the Spanish Succession, where the Allied forces of the Holy Roman Empire, Great Britain, the Dutch Republic, and Portugal confronted the armies of France and Bavaria. The artwork captures the dramatic capture of Marshal Camille d'Hostun, Duc de Tallard, the French commander, and the consequential action of driving enemy cavalry into the Danube River.

Louis Laguerre (1663–1721) was a prominent painter of historical and religious subjects, known for his grand Baroque style and his work on decorative schemes in English country houses and churches. In this painting, Laguerre's mastery of dynamic composition and his ability to convey the chaos and intensity of battle are evident. The scene is filled with movement and the vivid expressions of the figures, reflecting the urgency and desperation of the moment.

The painting serves not only as an artistic representation of a significant historical event but also as a piece of political propaganda, celebrating the victory of the Allied forces and the prowess of their leaders, including John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, who commanded the forces that day. The work is an example of how art was used to shape public perception and commemorate military triumphs in the early 18th century.

As a historical artifact, "The Taking of Marshall Tallard and Pushing 4000 Horses into the Danube at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704" offers insight into the period's artistic trends, the cultural importance of military victories, and the role of artists like Laguerre in documenting and glorifying the events of their time. The painting is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Battle of Blenheim and its impact on European history.
