"An Armed Lugger Heeling in the Breeze off the Eddystone Lighthouse" is a maritime painting by the British artist Thomas Buttersworth (1768–1842), who was renowned for his depictions of naval battles and ships. The work illustrates a lugger—a type of small sailing vessel historically used for fishing or as a cutter by navies—leaning, or "heeling," to one side as it navigates the winds near the Eddystone Lighthouse. This lighthouse, an iconic maritime landmark, is situated on the treacherous Eddystone Rocks, approximately 9 miles (14 kilometers) south of Rame Head in Cornwall, England.

Buttersworth, who served in the Royal Navy before embarking on his artistic career, was known for his acute attention to detail and his ability to capture the dynamic movement of ships and the sea. His experience at sea lent authenticity to his work, making him a popular artist among maritime collectors of the period. "An Armed Lugger Heeling in the Breeze off the Eddystone Lighthouse" is characteristic of his style, showcasing his skill in rendering the play of light on water, the intricate rigging of the vessels, and the dramatic interplay between the natural elements and human endeavors.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, as it provides insight into the naval and maritime history of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Luggers were commonly used during this period, and the Eddystone Lighthouse has been a crucial navigational point for sailors since the 17th century. Buttersworth's work captures a moment in time when maritime trade and naval warfare were central to the British Empire's expansion and power.

As with many of Buttersworth's works, "An Armed Lugger Heeling in the Breeze off the Eddystone Lighthouse" is likely to be held in a private collection or displayed in a museum specializing in maritime art or history. The painting contributes to the rich tapestry of naval art and remains a testament to Buttersworth's legacy as one of the foremost maritime artists of his time.
