Picture of the day

The Battle of Diamond Rock was a naval battle that took place between 31 May and 2 June 1805 during the Trafalgar campaign of the War of the Third Coalition, part of the Napoleonic Wars. A Franco-Spanish force dispatched under Captain Julien Cosmao retook Diamond Rock, on the approach to Fort-de-France on the Caribbean island of Martinique, from the British forces that had occupied it more than a year before. This oil-on-canvas painting depicting the battle, titled Taking of the Rock Le Diamant, near Martinique, 2 June 1805, was painted in 1837 by Auguste Étienne François Mayer, and measures 80 cm (31.4 in) high and 128 cm (50.3 in) wide. The painting now hangs in the Palace of Versailles.Painting credit: Auguste Étienne François Mayer
