"Faust's First Sight of Marguerite" is a renowned painting by the Irish artist Frederick William Burton (1816–1900), who is best known for his work "The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" which was voted Ireland's favorite painting in 2012. Burton, a notable painter of the Victorian era, was heavily influenced by the German Romantic literary movement, and his painting "Faust's First Sight of Marguerite" is a visual interpretation of a scene from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic play "Faust," which was a seminal work of German literature.

The painting captures the moment when the protagonist, Faust, first lays eyes on Marguerite (also known as Gretchen), setting the stage for the tragic love story that unfolds in Goethe's narrative. Burton's depiction is characterized by its rich detail, romantic sensibility, and the emotional depth he imparts to his subjects. The artwork reflects the Victorian fascination with literary themes and the era's penchant for moral and emotional complexity.

Frederick William Burton, who was also a skilled watercolorist and served as the Director of the National Gallery, London, from 1874 to 1894, brought a meticulous approach to his compositions. His technical proficiency and his ability to convey narrative through art are evident in "Faust's First Sight of Marguerite." The painting is a testament to Burton's mastery of color and form, as well as his engagement with cultural and literary themes of his time.

While the exact date of creation for "Faust's First Sight of Marguerite" is not well-documented, the work is reflective of Burton's mid-career period, when he had established himself as a painter of historical and genre subjects. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be an important piece for the study of Victorian art and the visual interpretation of literary works from the Romantic period.
