"Charge of the Light Brigade, Balaclava, 25 October 1854" is a painting by British artist Richard Caton Woodville Jr., which commemorates the infamous military action during the Battle of Balaclava on October 25, 1854, in the Crimean War. The painting captures the dramatic and chaotic charge of the British Light Brigade, an event that has become emblematic of the valor and folly of war due to the brigade's misdirected advance into a heavily defended valley against Russian forces.

Woodville, known for his detailed and vivid military scenes, created this work to illustrate the heroism and tragedy of the event, which was immortalized in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Charge of the Light Brigade." The painting depicts the cavalrymen in their gallant yet doomed assault, surrounded by the smoke and fire of the battlefield. The artist's attention to detail in the uniforms and equipment of the soldiers, as well as his ability to convey the intensity of the battle, has made this work a significant historical representation of the Crimean War.

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a result of a miscommunication in the chain of command, leading to a frontal attack by the Light Brigade against a well-prepared Russian artillery battery. The brigade suffered heavy casualties, and the event became a symbol of the bravery of soldiers and the mismanagement of military operations. Woodville's painting serves not only as a work of art but also as a visual document of this poignant moment in military history.

Richard Caton Woodville's "Charge of the Light Brigade, Balaclava, 25 October 1854" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance. It is often exhibited and studied as an example of 19th-century military art and continues to resonate as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
