"Shulamit and Maria 1810-11" is a notable painting by the German artist Franz Pforr (1788–1812), a key figure in the early German Romantic movement and a founding member of the Lukasbund, later known as the Nazarenes. The painting, created between 1810 and 1811, is a prime example of Pforr's engagement with religious and historical themes, rendered with a meticulous attention to detail and a clear, linear style that was characteristic of the Nazarene movement.

The artwork juxtaposes two female figures from different cultural and religious backgrounds: Shulamit, representing the Old Testament and Jewish tradition, and Maria (Mary), symbolizing the New Testament and Christian faith. This pairing reflects Pforr's interest in the spiritual and symbolic resonance of biblical subjects, as well as his intent to explore the universality of religious experience and the interplay between the two faiths.

"Shulamit and Maria" is distinguished by its harmonious composition and the serene dignity of its figures, set against a landscape that evokes the idyllic and timeless realm of sacred history. The painting's iconography and style are influenced by early Renaissance art, which Pforr and his contemporaries admired for its purity and devotion. The work is also notable for its embodiment of the Nazarenes' ideals, which sought to revive the spiritual and artistic values of medieval and early Renaissance art in opposition to the prevailing neoclassical aesthetic of their time.

Franz Pforr's premature death at the age of 24 cut short a promising career, but "Shulamit and Maria 1810-11" remains a testament to his artistic vision and his contribution to the Romantic movement in German art. The painting is held in high regard for its historical significance and is often cited in discussions of early 19th-century German painting and the Nazarene movement.
