"Horses of the North Australian Expedition attacked by alligators on a small creek of the Fitzmarne river" is a painting by Thomas Baines, an English artist and explorer known for his detailed and vivid works depicting the landscapes, flora, fauna, and indigenous peoples of the regions he explored. Baines, born in 1820, participated in several expeditions throughout his life, including the North Australian Expedition of 1855-1857, led by Augustus Gregory. The painting in question captures a dramatic and harrowing moment experienced by the expedition members, illustrating the dangers they faced in the uncharted territories of Australia.

The artwork serves as a historical document, providing insight into the challenges of 19th-century exploration. It is characterized by Baines' attention to detail and his ability to convey the intensity of the encounter between the domestic animals of the expedition and the wild creatures they encountered, in this case, alligators. The painting not only showcases Baines' skill as an artist but also reflects the broader themes of man versus nature and the impact of European colonial expeditions on the environment and indigenous cultures.

As an artist, Baines was adept at both oil painting and watercolor, and his works often included written accounts that complemented the visual narrative. His contributions to the visual documentation of colonial expeditions have made him a significant figure in the field of historical and ethnographic art. "Horses of the North Australian Expedition attacked by alligators on a small creek of the Fitzmarne river" remains an important work for its artistic merit and as a record of the experiences faced by explorers during a pivotal era of Australian history.
