"Portrait of Horatio Viscount Nelson" is an oil painting by the English portraitist Sir William Beechey, created in 1801. The artwork is a half-length representation of Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, who is one of Britain's most revered naval heroes, particularly known for his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. Beechey, a leading portraitist of his time, was commissioned to capture the likeness of Nelson following his triumph at the Battle of the Nile in 1798, which significantly boosted his fame.

The portrait is notable for its depiction of Nelson in his Vice-Admiral's undress uniform, adorned with the various orders and medals that he had been awarded for his service, including the insignia of the Order of the Bath and the Neapolitan Order of St. Ferdinand and of Merit. Nelson's confident gaze and the naturalistic rendering of his features, including the scars and missing right eye sustained in earlier battles, contribute to the painting's powerful evocation of the admiral's character and his war experiences.

Beechey's portrait is considered an important historical artifact, offering insight into the public image of Nelson at the height of his fame. It reflects the period's artistic conventions and the British public's desire for heroic representations of their military leaders during the Napoleonic Wars. The painting has been exhibited in various galleries and is often referenced in discussions of British naval history and portraiture of the era.

As a significant work of art and historical document, "Portrait of Horatio Viscount Nelson" by Sir William Beechey is preserved in a public collection, ensuring its accessibility for both scholarly study and public appreciation. The portrait remains a testament to Nelson's legacy and Beechey's skill as a portrait artist in capturing the visage of one of Britain's most iconic figures.
