"Battle of the Pyramids" is a historical painting by Wojciech Kossak, a Polish painter known for his depictions of battle scenes and military history. The painting portrays the Battle of the Pyramids, also known as the Battle of Embabeh, which took place on July 21, 1798, during the French invasion of Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte. This battle was a pivotal moment in the French campaign, as Napoleon's forces decisively defeated the Mamluk army, which led to the French occupation of Egypt that lasted until 1801.

Wojciech Kossak, born in 1856 in Paris and died in 1942 in Kraków, was part of a family of painters and became one of Poland's most celebrated artists. His works often focused on military subjects, drawing from his fascination with the history of warfare and his own military service. Kossak's attention to detail and his ability to convey the drama of battle made his paintings highly regarded by both critics and the public.

In "Battle of the Pyramids," Kossak captures the intensity and chaos of the confrontation, with a focus on the French troops arranged in divisional squares—a tactical formation that helped them withstand the cavalry charges of the Mamluks. The painting is noted for its dynamic composition, vivid portrayal of the French and Mamluk forces, and the stark contrast between the disciplined European troops and the fiercely independent Mamluk warriors.

The artwork serves not only as a piece of historical representation but also as a testament to Kossak's skill in illustrating the complexities and turmoil of battle. "Battle of the Pyramids" is one of several works by Kossak that depict significant moments in military history, contributing to his reputation as a master of the genre of battle painting. The painting is an important cultural artifact, reflecting both the historical event it depicts and the artistic heritage of Poland during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
