"The Great Fire of London, 1797" is a painting by the Franco-British artist Philip James de Loutherbourg (also known as Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg), who was renowned for his dramatic and imaginative landscapes and historical scenes. This particular work depicts the catastrophic event of the Great Fire of London, which occurred in September 1666, devastating the central parts of the city.

Loutherbourg's painting is an example of late 18th-century Romanticism, capturing the sublime power of nature and the vulnerability of human civilization in the face of disaster. The artwork is characterized by its dynamic composition, vivid color palette, and the dramatic use of light and shadow, which convey the intensity and chaos of the fire as it consumes the city's architecture. Figures are seen fleeing in terror, emphasizing the human tragedy of the event.

The painting serves not only as a historical representation but also as a spectacle of the sublime, a concept that was central to Romantic art and literature. It reflects Loutherbourg's skill in theatrical design and his ability to evoke strong emotional responses from viewers. His work on theatrical productions, including innovative set designs and special effects for the London stage, informed his approach to painting, which often featured dramatic scenes and a strong narrative element.

"The Great Fire of London, 1797" is part of Loutherbourg's oeuvre that contributed to his reputation as a pioneer in the Romantic movement in Britain. The painting is significant for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact that reflects the period's fascination with historical disasters and the forces of nature. It remains an important work for the study of 18th-century British art and the representation of historical events in visual culture.
