"The Two Extremes" is a notable painting by the British artist Henry Nelson O'Neil, created in 1864. O'Neil, a prominent member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his narrative style and his ability to capture the social and emotional nuances of his subjects. This particular work exemplifies his skill in combining detailed realism with poignant social commentary.

The painting depicts two contrasting figures, symbolizing the stark disparities in Victorian society. On one side, a wealthy, elegantly dressed woman is shown in a luxurious setting, surrounded by opulent furnishings and symbols of affluence. Her serene expression and composed demeanor reflect the comfort and security of her privileged life. In stark contrast, the other side of the painting features a destitute woman, ragged and weary, holding a child in her arms. The background is bleak and barren, emphasizing her dire circumstances and the harsh realities faced by the impoverished.

O'Neil's use of light and shadow in "The Two Extremes" is particularly striking, highlighting the disparity between the two figures and drawing the viewer's attention to the social divide. The painting serves as a powerful critique of the economic inequalities of the time, urging viewers to reflect on the moral and ethical implications of such disparities.

"The Two Extremes" was well-received upon its release and has since been regarded as one of O'Neil's most significant works. It continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its insightful commentary on social issues. The painting is housed in a prominent art collection, where it remains a poignant reminder of the enduring relevance of social justice themes in art.
