"The Ten Virgins" is a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John Melhuish Strudwick (1849–1937). Created in 1879, the artwork is a visual interpretation of the Parable of the Ten Virgins from the New Testament, specifically the Gospel of Matthew (25:1-13). This parable tells the story of ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom; five of them were wise and brought extra oil, while the other five were foolish and did not. The painting reflects the moment when the wise virgins, prepared with their lamps lit, are welcomed to the wedding feast, contrasting with the plight of the unprepared virgins who are left outside.

Strudwick, who worked as an assistant to Edward Burne-Jones, was known for his meticulous and highly detailed style, which is evident in "The Ten Virgins." His work is characterized by its rich symbolism, intricate detail, and the use of vibrant colors, all of which are present in this painting. The piece is a fine example of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medievalism and its commitment to depicting religious and moral narratives with intense emotional depth and aesthetic beauty.

"The Ten Virgins" is considered an important work in Strudwick's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in composition and his ability to convey narrative through visual art. The painting is also notable for its portrayal of the female figures, which aligns with the Pre-Raphaelite tradition of idealizing women's beauty and virtue. As with many Pre-Raphaelite works, the painting invites contemplation on spiritual and moral themes, encouraging viewers to consider the virtues of preparedness and wisdom.

The painting is part of a collection of Strudwick's works that can be found in various art galleries and private collections. It has been exhibited in several art exhibitions dedicated to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of Victorian art.
