"General Zachary Taylor at the Battle of Buena Vista in 1847" is a historical painting by American artist William H. Powell, created in 1847. The artwork depicts a pivotal moment during the Mexican-American War, specifically the Battle of Buena Vista, which took place on February 22-23, 1847. In this battle, General Zachary Taylor, who would later become the 12th President of the United States, led a significantly outnumbered force of American troops against a larger Mexican army commanded by General Antonio López de Santa Anna.

Powell's painting captures the intensity and drama of the confrontation, portraying General Taylor as a resolute and commanding presence amidst the chaos of battle. The work is noted for its historical accuracy, attention to detail, and the vivid portrayal of the rugged terrain of the battlefield, which was located near Saltillo, Coahuila. The painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual document of American military history, reflecting the nationalistic sentiment and the spirit of Manifest Destiny prevalent at the time.

Commissioned by the U.S. Congress as part of a series of works to adorn the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Powell's painting is an example of the government's efforts to commemorate significant events in the nation's history through art. The painting is part of the Capitol's collection and is displayed in a prominent location, where it continues to be an object of study for historians and art enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the mid-19th century American perspective on the war and its heroes.
