"Faust and Marguerite" (1873–1875) is an oil painting by Hungarian artist Sándor Liezen-Mayer, illustrating a pivotal moment from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic play "Faust." The artwork captures the tragic romance between the scholar Faust, who has made a pact with the devil, and the innocent Marguerite, also known as Gretchen. Liezen-Mayer's interpretation is a testament to the Romantic era's fascination with Goethe's masterpiece, reflecting the themes of love, temptation, and the supernatural that are central to the narrative.

In the painting, Liezen-Mayer depicts Faust and Marguerite in an intimate encounter, likely referencing the garden scene from Goethe's play where Faust's seduction of Marguerite begins to take form. The artist's use of color, composition, and expression conveys the emotional depth and complexity of the characters' relationship. Marguerite is often portrayed as a figure of purity and innocence, while Faust embodies the restless pursuit of knowledge and experience, driven to the point of making a diabolical bargain.

Sándor Liezen-Mayer (1839–1898) was a prominent figure in 19th-century Hungarian art, known for his historical and literary paintings. His works often explored themes from Hungarian history as well as European literature, and "Faust and Marguerite" is among his contributions to the latter. The painting is an example of how European artists of the period were deeply influenced by literary sources and how they sought to visualize complex narratives and characters through their art.

"Faust and Marguerite" reflects Liezen-Mayer's skill in capturing the emotional intensity and dramatic flair of Goethe's play, making it a significant piece within the canon of Faustian artworks. It remains an important cultural artifact that continues to inspire interest in the Faust legend and its myriad interpretations in visual art.
