"Berengaria's Alarm for the Safety of Her Husband Richard Coeur de Lion" is an 1850 painting by British artist Charles Allston Collins. The work is a historical genre painting that captures a moment of dramatic tension involving Berengaria of Navarre, the wife of King Richard I of England, also known as Richard the Lionheart. The painting reflects the Victorian fascination with medieval history and romanticism, which was prevalent during the 19th century.

The artwork depicts a scene in which Berengaria is fraught with concern for her husband's safety during the Third Crusade. Richard I was a central Christian commander during the Crusades, and his exploits became legendary. The painting's narrative focuses on the emotional turmoil experienced by Berengaria amidst reports of the dangers faced by her husband on the battlefield.

Charles Allston Collins was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his interest in historical and literary themes. In this painting, he demonstrates his skill in capturing the rich textures of fabric and the intricate interiors that characterize the medieval setting. The use of light and shadow, as well as the expressive features of the figures, contribute to the overall dramatic effect of the scene.

"Berengaria's Alarm for the Safety of Her Husband Richard Coeur de Lion" is an example of Collins's work during the mid-19th century, a period when the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, with which he was associated, sought to challenge the conventions of the art establishment by emphasizing a return to the detail, color, and complexity of earlier Renaissance art.

While the painting itself may not be as widely recognized as the works of other Pre-Raphaelite artists, it nonetheless represents the movement's ideals and the Victorian era's romanticized view of the past. The painting is a testament to the era's artistic trends and the enduring interest in the stories and characters of medieval Europe.
