Edith Recovering Harold's Body after the Battle of Hastings is an 1827 history painting by the French artist Horace Vernet.[1] It depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Hastings in 1066 during the Norman Conquest of England. The English monarch Harold Godwinson was defeated and killed in the fighting. It shows a famous scene as Edith the Fair, accompanied by some monks, scoured the battlefield for the fallen Harold. He is discovered in a broken palisade, a sheet hiding the face which has been disfigured by an arrow.[2]

British historical themes were very fashionable in France during the Restoration era, particularly those of Walter Scott. Vernet produced several paintings including this one.[3]

It was one of several historical paintings Vernet exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1827.[4] In 1828 it was exhibited in London at William Armfield Hobday's gallery in Pall Mall.[5] Today it is in the collection of Musée Thomas-Henry in Cherbourg.[6]
