"Thisbe and the Lioness" is a notable painting by the English artist Charles Edmund Brock, who was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Brock, renowned for his illustrations and paintings, often drew inspiration from classical literature and mythology, and this work is no exception. The painting vividly captures a dramatic moment from the ancient tale of Pyramus and Thisbe, a story that originates from Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

In the narrative, Thisbe and Pyramus are two lovers who, due to their feuding families, must communicate through a crack in the wall that separates their homes. They plan to meet under a mulberry tree to profess their love and escape their families' enmity. However, Thisbe arrives first and encounters a lioness with a bloodied mouth, fresh from a kill. Terrified, she flees, leaving behind her veil. When Pyramus arrives and finds the veil, he assumes Thisbe has been killed by the beast and, in his grief, takes his own life. Thisbe returns to find Pyramus dead and, overcome with sorrow, kills herself as well.

Brock's painting captures the tension and emotion of this pivotal moment. His use of color, light, and composition brings the ancient story to life, emphasizing the tragic elements of the tale. The lioness, depicted with a menacing presence, contrasts sharply with the delicate and frightened Thisbe, highlighting the peril she faces. Brock's attention to detail and his ability to convey narrative through visual art make "Thisbe and the Lioness" a compelling piece that continues to resonate with audiences familiar with the tragic love story.

The painting is a testament to Brock's skill in blending narrative and visual art, and it remains an important work within his oeuvre. It exemplifies his ability to interpret classical themes with a unique artistic vision, contributing to his reputation as a distinguished illustrator and painter of his time.
