The Battle of the Nile is an 1800 history painting by the French-born British artist Philip James de Loutherbourg.

[1] The battle, fought in Aboukir Bay near the Nile Delta, was a major victory for Britain's Royal Navy under Horatio Nelson over the French Republic.

This had the effect of stranding the army of Napoleon Bonaparte which had recently launched an invasion of Egypt.

The English artist Turner also produced a now-lost painting showing the scene which he submitted to the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition.

The previous year he had produced a companion piece The Battle of Camperdown portraying a recent victory over the Dutch.
