"Lady Hamilton as Cassandra" is a renowned oil painting by the English portrait artist George Romney, created in the late 18th century, specifically in 1782. This artwork is celebrated for its depiction of Emma Hamilton, who was a famous English muse, model, and actress of the time, and later became best known as Lady Hamilton, the mistress of Lord Nelson. The painting is a striking example of Romney's fascination with Hamilton, who served as his muse for a number of years and inspired some of his most memorable works.

In "Lady Hamilton as Cassandra," Romney portrays Emma Hamilton in the guise of the Trojan priestess Cassandra, from ancient Greek mythology, known for her beauty and tragic gift of prophecy. The painting captures Cassandra in a moment of intense emotion and foreboding, reflecting the mythological character's doomed fate of having her prophecies disbelieved by her people, leading to the fall of Troy. This choice of subject matter is indicative of the Neoclassical movement's influence on Romney, characterized by a revival of interest in classical antiquity during the 18th century.

The artwork is notable for its dramatic expression, the dynamic pose of Hamilton, and the effective use of light and shadow, which serve to highlight the emotional intensity of the scene. Romney's skillful rendering of textures, particularly in Hamilton's flowing garments, adds a tactile quality to the work that enhances its overall impact.

"Lady Hamilton as Cassandra" is not only a testament to George Romney's mastery as a portrait artist but also to the enduring fascination with Emma Hamilton as a historical figure. The painting stands as a significant cultural artifact of the period, reflecting the intertwined worlds of art, mythology, and high society in late 18th-century England. Today, it is admired for its artistic beauty and as a poignant reminder of the rich historical narratives that paintings from this era often encapsulate.
