"Clytemnestra I" is a painting by the British artist John Maler Collier, created in 1882. Collier, known for his work as a leading portrait painter of his generation, often drew inspiration from classical mythology and literature, which is reflected in this artwork. The painting depicts Clytemnestra, a significant figure in Greek mythology, who is most famously known for her role in the stories of the Trojan War and its aftermath, particularly in the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides.

In the myth, Clytemnestra is the wife of Agamemnon, the king of Mycenae, and the sister of Helen of Troy. Her character is complex, often portrayed as a powerful and vengeful woman who ultimately murders her husband upon his return from the Trojan War, in retribution for his sacrifice of their daughter Iphigenia and his infidelity. Collier's painting captures Clytemnestra in a moment of intense emotion, reflecting the dramatic and tragic themes associated with her story.

The artwork is executed in the academic style, characteristic of Collier's approach, which favored clear, detailed representation and historical accuracy in costume and setting. "Clytemnestra I" is part of Collier's broader body of work that explores themes of femininity, power, and morality, often through the lens of mythological and literary subjects. The painting is notable for its rich color palette, the detailed rendering of textures, and the psychological depth it conveys through Clytemnestra's expression and pose.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting's current location or ownership status is not specified, nor are there extensive records of its exhibition history or critical reception. However, "Clytemnestra I" remains an example of Collier's skill in bringing mythological narratives to life and his contribution to the Victorian fascination with classical antiquity.
