"Destruction of the Spanish Armada, by Stadler and Pollard" is a notable aquatint engraving created by the artists Joseph Constantine Stadler and Robert Pollard the Elder, based on an original painting by the French-born artist Philip Jacques de Loutherbourg. The work depicts the historic naval battle in 1588 when the English fleet defeated the Spanish Armada, a pivotal event during the Anglo-Spanish War. This victory was significant in the decline of Spanish dominance and the rise of England as a major naval power.

Philip Jacques de Loutherbourg (1740–1812), a painter and stage designer, was known for his dramatic and imaginative landscapes and historical scenes. His original painting captured the intensity and chaos of the battle, which Stadler and Pollard translated into their engraving with meticulous detail and dynamic composition. The collaboration between the artists resulted in a work that not only serves as a historical record but also as a piece of art that conveys the emotion and significance of the event it represents.

The engraving is an example of the aquatint technique, which was used to create tonal effects that resemble watercolor paintings. This method was particularly suited to capturing the atmospheric effects of the sea and sky during the battle. "Destruction of the Spanish Armada" is considered an important work within the oeuvre of de Loutherbourg and the engravers Stadler and Pollard, reflecting the artistic and historical value of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The artwork is of interest to historians, art historians, and collectors alike, as it provides insight into the period's artistic techniques, as well as the cultural and political milieu that celebrated such a defining moment in English history. The engraving remains a testament to the collaborative efforts of artists to immortalize historical events and to the enduring legacy of the defeat of the Spanish Armada in the collective memory of the United Kingdom.
