"The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" is a renowned watercolor painting by the Irish artist Frederic William Burton. Created in 1864, this piece is also known by its alternate title, "Hellelil and Hildebrand, the Meeting on the Turret Stairs," which references the characters depicted in the artwork. The painting illustrates a poignant scene from a medieval Danish ballad, which recounts the tragic love story of Hellelil, who falls in love with her personal guard Hildebrand. Their love, however, is forbidden, leading to a dramatic and sorrowful conclusion.

Burton's masterful use of watercolors captures the tender moment of the lovers' final meeting on the turret stairs of a castle before their separation. The painting is celebrated for its romantic and ethereal quality, achieved through Burton's delicate brushwork and the subtle interplay of light and shadow. The composition, with its intricate architectural details and the flowing garments of the figures, creates a sense of movement and emotional intensity that draws the viewer into the narrative.

"The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" quickly gained acclaim upon its exhibition and has since become one of Burton's most famous works. It is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of a timeless love story. The painting is a highlight of the collection at the National Gallery of Ireland, where it is displayed periodically due to its sensitivity to light. Its enduring popularity is reflected in its selection as Ireland's favorite painting in a 2012 public poll conducted by the national broadcaster RTÉ.
