"King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid" is a painting by the Irish artist Daniel Maclise, completed in 1839. This work is inspired by the medieval legend of King Cophetua, a tale that has been popularized through various literary and artistic interpretations over the centuries. The legend tells the story of a benevolent African king who, despite his royal status, falls deeply in love with a humble beggar maid named Penelophon. The narrative is often celebrated for its themes of love transcending social boundaries and the transformative power of genuine affection.

Maclise's rendition of the story captures a pivotal moment of the legend, where King Cophetua, having encountered the beggar maid, is struck by her beauty and grace. The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and the rich, vibrant palette that Maclise employs. The artist's background in historical and literary subjects is evident in the composition, which is both dramatic and romantic, reflecting the Victorian fascination with chivalric and romantic ideals.

The painting was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, where it garnered significant attention and praise. Maclise's ability to convey the emotional depth of the characters, combined with his technical prowess, made "King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid" a standout piece in his oeuvre. The work is also significant for its reflection of 19th-century societal values and the romanticization of medieval themes, which were prevalent in the art and literature of the time.

Today, "King Cophetua and the Beggar Maid" is considered an important example of Maclise's artistic legacy and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance. The painting remains a testament to Maclise's skill in blending narrative and visual art to create compelling and enduring works.
