I am all over this online archive lately, which is a treasure trove of military art and maps from the 16th century through Waterloo. It's entirely prints and drawings, not paintings, but there are some lovely pieces and many lesser-known conflicts. (The War of 1812 collection is surprisingly comprehensive and focused on naval battles).
