"The Battle of Algiers, 27th August 1816" is an oil painting by the English artist Thomas Luny (1759–1837), completed in 1825. The artwork depicts a significant naval engagement between the British Royal Navy and the Algerian fleet during the Bombardment of Algiers, which occurred on August 27, 1816. This military action was undertaken by the British as a punitive expedition in response to the Barbary state's practice of piracy and slavery, particularly the enslavement of European Christians.

Thomas Luny, known for his marine and historical scenes, captures the intensity of the battle with meticulous attention to the details of the ships and the turbulent sea. The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a historical document, reflecting the naval power and imperial reach of the British Empire during the early 19th century. It also provides insight into the geopolitical dynamics of the Mediterranean region at the time.

The artwork is significant for its portrayal of a pivotal moment in the suppression of piracy along the Barbary Coast, which had been a persistent threat to maritime commerce for centuries. The British victory in Algiers led to the release of over a thousand Christian slaves and marked a decline in the power of the North African corsairs.

"The Battle of Algiers, 27th August 1816" by Thomas Luny is an important representation of British naval history and the broader context of European interactions with North Africa during the period. The painting is notable for its historical accuracy, artistic skill, and its reflection of the era's naval warfare and diplomacy.
