"The Defence of Saragossa" is a notable historical painting created in 1828 by the acclaimed Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie. This work is a vivid representation of the Siege of Saragossa, a significant event during the Peninsular War, where Spanish forces and civilians valiantly defended the city of Saragossa against the invading Napoleonic troops in 1808-1809. Wilkie, renowned for his genre scenes and historical subjects, was deeply inspired by the heroism and resilience displayed during this siege, which he sought to immortalize through his art.

The painting captures a dramatic moment within the besieged city, emphasizing the chaos and fervor of the defenders. Wilkie's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey emotion through composition and expression are evident in this work. The scene is populated with a diverse array of figures, from soldiers and civilians to clergy, all united in their desperate struggle against the besiegers. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to key elements and heightening the overall sense of urgency and turmoil.

Wilkie's "The Defence of Saragossa" is not only a testament to his skill as a painter but also serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring spirit of resistance. The painting was well-received upon its unveiling and has since been regarded as one of Wilkie's significant contributions to historical art. It reflects the broader 19th-century European interest in the Napoleonic Wars and the Romantic fascination with heroic and nationalistic themes. Today, the painting remains an important piece within the canon of British art, celebrated for its historical significance and artistic merit.
