"A View of the Serra de Busacco at San Antonio de Cantara showing the attack by Marshal Reigniers upon the British and Portuguese forces under Lt. General Sir Thomas Picton, 27th September 1810" is an evocative historical engraving created by Charles Turner in 1815, based on an original work by Thomas Staunton St. Clair. This artwork captures a significant moment during the Peninsular War, specifically the Battle of Bussaco, which took place on September 27, 1810. The battle was a crucial engagement between the Anglo-Portuguese army, commanded by the Duke of Wellington, and the French forces led by Marshal André Masséna.

The engraving vividly depicts the intense combat as Marshal Jean-Baptiste Reynier's corps launched an attack on the British and Portuguese troops under the command of Lieutenant General Sir Thomas Picton. The Serra de Busacco, a rugged mountain range in central Portugal, serves as the dramatic backdrop for this confrontation. The detailed rendering of the landscape and the chaotic clash of soldiers highlights the strategic significance of the terrain and the ferocity of the battle.

Charles Turner, a renowned British engraver, was known for his ability to translate the dynamism and drama of historical events into his works. His collaboration with Thomas Staunton St. Clair, an artist and military officer who had firsthand experience of the Peninsular War, ensured that the engraving was both artistically compelling and historically accurate. St. Clair's original drawing provided a meticulous account of the battle, which Turner skillfully engraved to preserve the intensity and significance of the moment.

This engraving not only serves as a visual documentation of a pivotal event in the Peninsular War but also reflects the broader historical context of early 19th-century Europe, marked by the Napoleonic Wars. It stands as a testament to the bravery and strategic acumen of the British and Portuguese forces, as well as the artistic talents of Turner and St. Clair in commemorating such a defining moment in military history.
