"Battle of the Nile, 1884" is a historical painting by British artist Richard Bridges Beechey, depicting a significant naval engagement during the Napoleonic Wars. The artwork captures the dramatic moment of the Battle of the Nile, also known as the Battle of Aboukir Bay, which took place on 1 August 1798. This decisive confrontation saw the British Royal Navy, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson, engage and decisively defeat the French fleet anchored in Aboukir Bay near Alexandria, Egypt.

Richard Bridges Beechey (1808–1895), a half-brother to the famed maritime artist William Beechey, was both a painter and a Royal Navy officer. His dual career imbued his artwork with a sense of authenticity and technical accuracy that resonated with audiences of the time. Beechey's "Battle of the Nile" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, dynamic composition, and its vivid portrayal of the chaos and intensity of naval warfare.

The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, capturing the strategic brilliance of Nelson's tactics, which involved surprising the French fleet at anchor and attacking them at night. The battle resulted in a major victory for the British and is often credited with safeguarding British interests in the Mediterranean and disrupting Napoleon Bonaparte's ambitions in the East.

Beechey's work is a testament to the artist's skill in maritime painting, a genre that reached its zenith during the 18th and 19th centuries, reflecting the period's naval conflicts and the public's fascination with sea power. "Battle of the Nile, 1884" remains an important piece within this genre, offering viewers a window into a pivotal moment in naval history and the artistry of one of its notable chroniclers.
