"Mariana" is a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, an English poet, illustrator, painter, and translator, who was one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics. Completed in 1870, the artwork is a representation of the character Mariana from William Shakespeare's play "Measure for Measure," as well as from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "Mariana," which itself was inspired by Shakespeare's character.

In the painting, Rossetti depicts Mariana as a figure of longing and desolation, awaiting the return of her betrothed, Angelo, who has abandoned her. The artwork is imbued with the Pre-Raphaelite ideals of detailed naturalism and complex symbolism. Mariana is shown stretching her body in an attitude of weariness and frustration, surrounded by the rich textures and colors that are characteristic of Rossetti's work. The setting includes a number of symbolic elements, such as autumn leaves and a tapestry depicting the Annunciation, which may allude to themes of waiting and fertility.

Rossetti's "Mariana" is notable for its emotional depth and its fusion of literary and visual arts, as it draws from both Shakespearean drama and Tennyson's poetry to create a rich, intertextual portrait. The painting is an exemplar of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medieval and early Renaissance art, characterized by its attention to detail, vivid colors, and complex iconography. As with many of Rossetti's works, "Mariana" reflects the artist's interest in themes of love, longing, and the role of women in society and literature.

The painting is part of a broader tradition of Pre-Raphaelite artists creating works based on literary sources, and it contributes to the understanding of how Victorian artists engaged with and interpreted canonical texts. "Mariana" is held in a private collection, but its influence and representation of the Pre-Raphaelite style continue to be recognized in the study of 19th-century British art and literature.
