"King Mark and La Belle Iseult" is a notable painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a British artist closely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the later phase of the movement. Created in 1862, this artwork is an exemplar of Burne-Jones's fascination with medieval themes, chivalric romance, and the aesthetic ideals of the Pre-Raphaelites, which included a keen attention to detail, vibrant colors, and a rejection of the conventional artistic standards of the time.

The painting depicts a scene from the tragic love story of Tristan and Iseult, a popular medieval legend that has been a source of inspiration for artists, poets, and writers for centuries. In this particular work, Burne-Jones chooses to focus on the figures of King Mark of Cornwall and his bride, Iseult, who is better known for her adulterous love affair with Tristan, King Mark's nephew and a knight of the Round Table. The narrative complexity of the legend, with its themes of love, betrayal, and fate, is captured in the poignant expressions and the intimate yet tense composition of the figures.

Measuring approximately 111.8 x 82.6 cm, "King Mark and La Belle Iseult" is executed in oil on canvas, a medium that allowed Burne-Jones to achieve the rich, luminous quality characteristic of his work. The artist's meticulous approach to the human form and drapery, as well as his use of symbolism and allegory, are evident in this piece. The painting is also notable for its influence on the aesthetic movement and symbolist art, movements that valued sensuality, beauty, and the exploration of complex emotions over the literal representation of reality.

"King Mark and La Belle Iseult" is part of the collection of the Southampton City Art Gallery in Southampton, England. It remains an important work within Burne-Jones's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of 19th-century British art.
