"Mariamne Leaving the Judgement Seat of Herod" is an 1887 painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. The work is a historical genre painting, depicting a dramatic moment from the life of Mariamne I, the second wife of Herod the Great, as she is led away from the judgement seat of her husband, who has wrongfully accused her of adultery and conspiracy. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's fascination with tragic female figures and his ability to convey intense emotion and narrative through his art.

The painting showcases Waterhouse's skill in combining classical themes with the Pre-Raphaelite style, characterized by its vivid colors, attention to detail, and romanticized portrayal of its subjects. "Mariamne Leaving the Judgement Seat of Herod" is notable for its rich, evocative use of color and the poignant expression of despair on Mariamne's face, which captures the viewer's empathy. The composition of the painting, with Mariamne at the center, draws the eye to her figure, emphasizing her innocence and the injustice of her situation.

Waterhouse's portrayal of Mariamne is informed by historical accounts and the dramatic retellings of her story, which was popular in 19th-century literature. The painting reflects the Victorian fascination with the classical world and its stories, as well as the era's gender norms and the role of women in society. Through this work, Waterhouse contributes to the rich tapestry of visual art that explores themes of love, betrayal, and the power dynamics within relationships.

"Mariamne Leaving the Judgement Seat of Herod" remains an important work within Waterhouse's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its historical context, artistic merit, and the emotional resonance it evokes in the depiction of its tragic heroine. The painting is a significant example of the intersection of history, literature, and art during the late Victorian period, and it contributes to the enduring legacy of John William Waterhouse as a master of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
