"The Siege and Relief of Gibraltar" is an engraving by William Sharp, an English line engraver and painter, based on the painting by John Singleton Copley. The original painting, titled "The Siege and Relief of Gibraltar, 13 September 1782," was completed in 1783 and commemorates the defense of Gibraltar by British forces during the Great Siege by Spain and France from 1779 to 1783. Sharp's engraving is a significant work that translates Copley's grand historical narrative into a detailed and intricate print, allowing for wider dissemination of the image.

William Sharp (1749–1824) was known for his mastery of line engraving, a technique that involves incising a design onto a hard surface by cutting grooves into it. Sharp's rendition of Copley's painting captures the dramatic intensity and heroism depicted in the original work. The engraving showcases the British garrison's resilience under the command of General George Augustus Eliott, who later became the 1st Baron Heathfield of Gibraltar.

The engraving is notable for its historical significance and the technical skill demonstrated by Sharp. It serves as a visual record of a pivotal moment in British military history and exemplifies the role of engravings in 18th-century art as a means of reproducing and sharing paintings with a broader audience. The work is also an example of the collaboration between painters and engravers during the period, which was essential for the commercial success and distribution of contemporary historical scenes.

"The Siege and Relief of Gibraltar" by William Sharp is an important historical engraving that reflects the artistic and cultural values of the late 18th century, as well as the political and military events of the time. It remains a testament to the enduring partnership between artists and engravers in the dissemination of visual narratives and the celebration of national achievements.
