Gibraltar Relieved By Sir George Rodney is an oil on canvas history painting by the French-born British artist Dominic Serres, from 1782.
[1] [2] It portrays a scene from the Great Siege of Gibraltar in January 1780 during American War of Independence.
This was a major boost to the defence of the British stronghold, which successfully defeated all efforts to capture it by French and Spanish forces between 1779 and 1783.
He donated the work to the Royal Academy in 1782 as a diploma piece and it remains in the collection.
[5] A version of the painting in watercolour by Serres is held by the Whitworth Art Gallery.
