"Valentine Rescuing Silvia from Proteus" is a 1792 painting by the British artist Francis Wheatley. The artwork depicts a dramatic scene from William Shakespeare's early comedy, "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," in which the character Valentine intervenes to save Silvia from the unwanted advances of his friend Proteus. The painting is a fine example of Wheatley's narrative style and his ability to capture the emotional intensity of a literary moment on canvas.

In the scene portrayed, Valentine is shown at the moment of his heroic intervention, embodying the themes of loyalty, friendship, and honor that are central to the play. Silvia's distress is evident, as is the treachery of Proteus, creating a dynamic and emotionally charged tableau. Wheatley's work is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's characters and stories, and his painting contributes to the visual legacy of Shakespearean interpretation.

The painting is notable for its composition, use of color, and the detailed expressions of the characters, which convey the gravity of the situation. As a work of art from the late 18th century, it also reflects the period's artistic sensibilities and the influence of Romanticism, which began to take hold towards the end of Wheatley's career.

"Valentine Rescuing Silvia from Proteus" is an important work within Wheatley's oeuvre and offers insight into the cultural and artistic engagement with Shakespeare's works during the 18th century. It remains of interest to scholars of both art history and Shakespearean literature, as well as to the general public, for its portrayal of one of the Bard's more complex and less frequently depicted scenes.
