The Piazza at Havana is a landscape painting by the French-born British artist Dominic Serres.[1] It depicts the scene during the British occupation of Havana, Cuba following Britain's capture of the city from Spain during the Seven Years' War.[2] British troops in redcoats are shown parading in the Plaza Vieja while British sailors are in the foreground. Serres painted a series of works focusing on the taking of Havana for the Keppel family, three of whom led the British campaign.[3][4] The title uses the Italian loan word piazza, common in English during the era, rather than the Spanish plaza.
It is part of the collection of the National Maritime Museum at Greenwich, London. It was one of a pair with The Cathedral at Havana a depiction of Havana Cathedral, both showing the city after it had fallen into British hands.[4]
