"Mariana" is an oil painting by Henrietta Rae (1859–1928), a British artist known for her classical and allegorical works. The painting is inspired by the character Mariana from William Shakespeare's play "Measure for Measure," as well as the poem "Mariana" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which itself draws upon Shakespeare's portrayal. Rae's depiction of Mariana is emblematic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's influence on late 19th-century British art, characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and themes of love, beauty, and nature.

In the painting, Mariana is typically depicted in a state of melancholic contemplation, embodying the sense of abandonment and longing that Tennyson's poem conveys. The setting often includes symbolic elements that enhance the narrative of Mariana's emotional isolation, such as a moated grange, which is a central image in Tennyson's poem. Rae's work reflects her skill in capturing the emotional depth of her subjects, as well as her ability to render textures and fabrics with great finesse.

Henrietta Rae was a prominent female artist in a period dominated by male painters, and she received recognition for her contributions to art during her lifetime. Her works were exhibited at the Royal Academy and elsewhere, and she was known for her ambitious compositions and historical subjects. "Mariana" is considered an important work within Rae's oeuvre, illustrating her engagement with literary themes and her place within the broader context of Victorian art.

The painting is part of a larger tradition of artistic interpretations of Mariana, which includes works by other notable artists such as John Everett Millais, whose own "Mariana" is one of the most famous Pre-Raphaelite paintings on the subject. Rae's "Mariana" contributes to this rich tapestry of visual literature, offering a unique and personal perspective on a timeless character.
