Attack on a Large Convoy at Salinas

Attaque d'un grand convoi à Salinas, Biscaye, 25 mai 1812 (French for 'Attack on a large convoy at Salinas, Biscay, 25 May 1812') is an 1819 history painting by the French artist Louis-François Lejeune.

[1] It depicts a scene from the Peninsular War on 25 May 1812 when a French convoy was attacked near Salinas by Spanish guerrilleros.

[2] Those in the convoy (including the court of Joseph Bonaparte, Spanish allies of the French and British prisoners of war) joined forces to fight off the attackers.

Today it is in the collection of the Palace of Versailles, having been acquired in 1861.
