"Iphigenia" is a painting by Herbert Gustav Schmalz, a British Pre-Raphaelite artist known for his historical and mythological scenes. The painting, which dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century, depicts the moment from Greek mythology when Iphigenia, the daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra, is about to be sacrificed by her father to appease the goddess Artemis. According to the myth, Artemis intervened at the last moment to save Iphigenia, substituting a deer in her place on the altar.

Schmalz's rendition of this dramatic scene is characterized by its rich detail, vibrant color palette, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The artist's focus on the central character, Iphigenia, captures her innocence and resignation to fate, which is a common theme in representations of this myth. The painting is a fine example of Schmalz's work, showcasing his skill in combining classical subjects with the aesthetics of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emphasized beauty, nature, and a keen attention to detail.

The painting's historical and cultural significance lies in its reflection of the Victorian fascination with ancient Greek mythology and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's quest to revive the purity and complexity of medieval art forms. "Iphigenia" by Herbert Gustav Schmalz is an important work within the oeuvre of the artist and contributes to the understanding of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its impact on the visual arts during the late Victorian period.
