"The Trial of Sir William Wallace at Westminster" is a historical painting by the Scottish artist William Bell Scott, completed in 1870. The artwork depicts the trial of the Scottish knight Sir William Wallace, a key figure in the Wars of Scottish Independence, which took place at Westminster Hall in 1305. Wallace, who led the Scottish resistance against King Edward I of England, was captured and brought to London, where he was tried for treason and crimes against English civilians.

In Scott's rendition, the somber and grandiose setting of Westminster Hall is filled with figures representing the English court and its officials, while Wallace stands defiantly as the central figure, embodying the spirit of Scottish resistance. The painting is noted for its historical accuracy in costume and setting, as well as its dramatic portrayal of a pivotal moment in Scottish history.

William Bell Scott (1811–1890) was not only a painter but also a poet and art teacher, associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and known for his historical and literary subjects. His work often reflects his interest in national identity and the historical struggles of Scotland. "The Trial of Sir William Wallace at Westminster" is considered one of his significant historical works, capturing a moment of profound national importance for Scotland and reflecting the 19th-century interest in the romanticized portrayal of historical figures and events.

The painting is part of a series of works by Scott that illustrate key events in Scottish history, contributing to the Victorian era's fascination with medieval history and the valorization of national heroes. It is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to engage with a visual interpretation of a moment that has been deeply ingrained in Scottish cultural memory.
