"Percy Bysshe Shelley" is an oil-on-canvas portrait by the Irish artist Amelia Curran. Painted in 1819, it is one of the most iconic representations of the English Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822). The portrait is noted for capturing the delicate features and intense gaze of the poet, who was a close friend of Curran's. It is one of the few contemporary likenesses of Shelley, who was not widely painted or sketched during his lifetime.

Amelia Curran, born in 1775, was a portrait painter and a member of the intellectual circle that included Shelley and his second wife, Mary Shelley, author of "Frankenstein." Curran's portrait of Shelley was completed during his stay in Italy, a period in which he produced some of his most enduring works, including "Prometheus Unbound" and "Adonais."

The portrait is characterized by its Romantic style, with a focus on the emotional and spiritual expression of the sitter. Shelley is depicted with flowing, unkempt hair and a distant, thoughtful expression, which reflects the poet's reputation as an idealist and a visionary. The subdued color palette and the soft brushwork enhance the ethereal quality of the image, suggesting the poet's transient and tragic life—Shelley would die just three years after the portrait was painted, at the age of 29.

"Percy Bysshe Shelley" by Amelia Curran is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. It remains an important work for both its artistic merit and its historical significance as a rare visual document of one of the most important figures of English Romanticism. The portrait is frequently referenced in discussions of Shelley's life and has been reproduced in various forms, contributing to the enduring image of the poet in popular culture.
