Théodore Gudin: Attack of Algiers by Sea, 29 June 1830

This painting depicts the French invasion of Algeria, undertaken by Charles X in an attempt to divert attention from his unpopularity in the domestic sphere. Although the invasion succeeded and the French took Algeria (which they only relinquished in 1961, after a bloody and nasty war), it didn't save Charles, who was deposed in the July Revolution which has been depicted in a number of recent paintings here.
