"Marooned" is a painting by American illustrator and author Howard Pyle (1853–1911), created in 1909. The work is one of Pyle's most famous and depicts a pirate who has been abandoned on a deserted island, a common punishment for piracy during the Golden Age of Piracy. The painting is emblematic of Pyle's mastery in illustrating scenes of adventure and his significant influence on the portrayal of pirate imagery in popular culture.

The composition of "Marooned" is both evocative and poignant, capturing the isolation and despair of the solitary figure against the vastness of the sea and sky. The pirate, dressed in tattered clothing, sits on a rocky outcrop, gazing out to the horizon, perhaps in hope of rescue or in resignation to his fate. The use of light and shadow, along with the dramatic clouds and the stark, desolate landscape, contribute to the emotional impact of the scene.

Howard Pyle is renowned for his contributions to the genre of American illustration, particularly through his work for periodicals and in his role as a teacher, having founded the first school of illustration at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia. His legacy includes not only his own artwork but also the influence he had on his students, who would go on to become prominent illustrators themselves.

"Marooned" is often cited as an example of Pyle's ability to convey narrative through visual art. It reflects his interest in historical subjects and his skill in creating images that resonate with viewers through their detail, realism, and emotional depth. The painting remains an iconic representation of pirate lore and continues to influence the depiction of pirates in various forms of media.
