"Cordelia in the Court of King Lear" is a painting by Sir John Gilbert, an English artist known for his works in the Victorian era. The painting depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear," illustrating the moment when Cordelia, Lear's youngest and most loyal daughter, is present in the royal court. Gilbert's portrayal captures the tension and emotion of the play's early act where Cordelia, refusing to flatter her father with insincere declarations of love, falls from his favor, leading to her disinheritance and the subsequent tragic events of the narrative.

Sir John Gilbert (1817–1897) was a prolific illustrator, painter, and engraver, whose work often drew upon historical and literary sources, particularly the plays of Shakespeare. His artistic style is characterized by dramatic intensity and a vivid sense of movement, which is evident in "Cordelia in the Court of King Lear." The painting is a fine example of Gilbert's engagement with Shakespearean themes and his ability to convey complex emotional states and the grandeur of the theatrical setting through his art.

The painting is significant not only as a work of art but also as a visual interpretation of a pivotal moment in one of Shakespeare's most revered plays. It contributes to the understanding of how Victorian artists engaged with and were inspired by literary classics, reflecting the cultural values and aesthetic sensibilities of the era. As a historical piece, it also offers insight into the visual culture of the 19th century and the ways in which Shakespeare's works were appreciated and reimagined during that time.
