"Hope" is an allegorical oil painting by George Frederic Watts, a renowned English Victorian painter and sculptor associated with the Symbolist movement. Created in 1886, the painting is one of Watts's most famous works and has been widely interpreted and discussed in the context of its era and beyond.

The painting depicts a lone, blindfolded female figure seated atop a globe, symbolizing the world. She clings to a lyre with only one string remaining, which has been interpreted as a representation of the enduring human spirit and the persistence of hope in the face of despair. The figure's blindfold suggests that hope is often not based on visual evidence but rather an inner conviction or faith.

Watts's use of somber tones and the solitary figure against a dark background imbues the painting with a sense of melancholy, yet the presence of the single unbroken string on the lyre offers a poignant counterpoint, suggesting that even in dire circumstances, there is the possibility for optimism and renewal.

"Hope" has inspired a variety of responses and has been referenced in cultural and political discourse. Notably, the painting was alluded to by Barack Obama in his 2004 Democratic National Convention keynote address and during his 2008 presidential campaign, highlighting its enduring relevance as a symbol of resilience and the human capacity for hope.

The painting is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London, and its influence extends beyond the art world, touching on themes of philosophy, religion, and the human condition. Watts's "Hope" continues to resonate with audiences as a profound statement on the nature of hope and its place in human experience.
