"Patience on a Monument smiling at Grief" is a notable painting by the English artist John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, a key figure in the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Created in 1852, this work exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's dedication to vivid detail, vibrant color, and themes drawn from literature, mythology, and history. The painting's title is derived from a line in William Shakespeare's play "Twelfth Night," which speaks to the endurance of suffering with a serene and accepting demeanor.

The composition of "Patience on a Monument smiling at Grief" features a central female figure, embodying the personification of Patience, seated atop a monument. Her serene expression and calm posture contrast sharply with the sorrowful theme suggested by the title, encapsulating the Pre-Raphaelite fascination with the juxtaposition of beauty and melancholy. The background and surrounding elements are meticulously detailed, showcasing Stanhope's skill in rendering textures and natural forms with precision.

Stanhope's use of rich, jewel-like colors and his attention to intricate details reflect the influence of his contemporaries, such as Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Edward Burne-Jones, as well as his admiration for early Renaissance art. The painting also demonstrates Stanhope's interest in allegorical and symbolic content, a hallmark of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic.
