A painting I really like from each Western European country’s military history. Except for (non Roman)-Italy, Portugal, Luxembourg, Iceland and Ireland. Step your game up.

    I personally think this one (The Defence of Rorke’s Drift) is better than the one you have selected (Remnants of an Army) which was also by Lady Butler.

    Not sure if this French or Spanish but I like it. El tres de mayo de 1808 en Madrid by Goya. Napoleonic troops executing Spanish rebels for their part in an uprising the day before, after napoleon moved the Spanish royal family out of Madrid for “safekeeping”.

20. This one isn’t really a painting but rather a panel in the Porto Terminal Train Station. It’s still a great picture depicting the Conquest of Ceuta, the first overseas territory conquered by Portugal from another state. From the early 1900s.

    Harrowing painting of the Russian Revolution.

23. It seems that there’s a recurring theme but I can’t figure out what it is

24. The burning of Moscow

27. You musn’t be familiar with “Etruscan warrior gets his nuts chewed” obviously

28. High quality post. Thanks m8

29. OP, you clearly have some kind of fetishism for military scenes. Also, in what concerns tastes, to each their own… But plenty of good examples in Portugal…

    The arrival of Vasco da Gama in India

    This heroic painting I think captures the essence of Icelandic naval superiority during the cod wars, Siggi Gunnarson is the artist

    Love this one.

33. I rather like Peace Concluded by John Everett Millais. It’s not strictly a military painting, but it is of a family reunited at the end of war and that’s the hope I think everyone who goes or whose family goes to war must desire most.

    I nominate this painting of the 4th Viennese Infantry Regiment to represent Austria.

35. Finland is Poltettu kylä (A burned village) by Albert Edelfelt. Depicting the Russians burning a village during the Great Wrath (Isoviha).

    That one time **WE WERE FORCED** to sail into the med🤮to save the pope and the bloody Venetians once again…

37. Richelieu in cardinal attire with an armor on top slaps so hard, better character design than most anime protagonists

    « Prise de Luxembourg », the only famous painting on the topic of Luxembourg I know The place where they are is a huge business center now btw.

39. im saving this post, your choices and the comments are cool as hell

40. France and Sweden:

    

41. From Catalonia, I think that this is one of the best of the end of succession war of 1714 (yes, I know that represents a loss in a war, but we are weirdos, leave us alone)
