"The Charge of the Light Brigade" is a painting by the English artist Richard Caton Woodville, Jr. (1856–1927), which depicts the infamous military action of the same name that took place during the Battle of Balaclava on October 25, 1854, as part of the Crimean War. The charge was a disastrous cavalry assault by British light cavalry against Russian forces, immortalized in verse by Alfred, Lord Tennyson in his poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade."

Caton Woodville's work, completed in 1894, is one of several depictions of the event in 19th-century art, reflecting the Victorian fascination with heroism and the drama of battle. The painting captures the intensity and chaos of the charge, with British cavalrymen riding headlong into a barrage of Russian artillery and gunfire. The artist's attention to detail and his ability to convey the movement and desperation of the scene have been noted by art critics and historians.

Woodville, who specialized in military scenes, was known for his meticulous research and commitment to realism. He often interviewed veterans and visited battlefields to ensure the accuracy of his work. "The Charge of the Light Brigade" is considered one of his significant contributions to the genre of military art and serves as a visual companion to Tennyson's poetic narrative, both of which have contributed to the enduring legacy of the event in British cultural memory.

The painting is held in various collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries, contributing to the public's understanding of the historical event. It continues to be a subject of study for its artistic merit and as a representation of Victorian attitudes towards war and heroism.
