"The Battle of the Nile, 1st August 1798: The Destruction of the French Flagship L'Orient" is a historically significant oil painting by the French-born artist Philip Jacques de Loutherbourg. Created in 1799, the work depicts a dramatic and pivotal moment during the Battle of the Nile, also known as the Battle of Aboukir Bay, where the British Royal Navy, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, engaged and decisively defeated the French fleet, which was part of Napoleon Bonaparte's Egyptian expedition.

This large-scale painting captures the intensity and chaos of the naval engagement, with a particular focus on the catastrophic explosion of the French flagship L'Orient. De Loutherbourg's use of vivid colors and dynamic composition brings to life the ferocity of the battle and the tragic end of the French vessel, which dramatically blew up during the confrontation. The artwork serves not only as a visual record of the event but also as a piece of propaganda, celebrating British naval prowess and contributing to the heroization of Nelson.
