"The Birthday" is a notable painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854–1931). Created in 1892, this work is emblematic of Gotch's mature period, in which he shifted towards symbolist themes and a more decorative style, diverging from his earlier, more naturalistic works. The painting is rich in allegory and symbolism, characteristics that align it with the broader Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medieval, religious, and literary themes, albeit Gotch's interpretation is infused with a unique personal and modern sensibility.

"The Birthday" depicts a young girl dressed in elaborate attire, surrounded by gifts and flowers, suggesting a celebration of her birthday. However, beyond its apparent subject matter, the painting delves into themes of innocence, the passage of time, and the transition from childhood to adulthood. Gotch's use of vibrant colors, meticulous attention to detail, and the inclusion of symbolic elements—such as the flowers and gifts, which may represent the fleeting nature of youth and the accumulation of experiences—imbue the work with a deeper, more introspective quality.

This painting is considered one of Gotch's masterpieces and reflects his interest in creating works that were not only visually appealing but also laden with meaning and emotion. "The Birthday" has been exhibited in various galleries and has received critical acclaim for its technical excellence and its evocative portrayal of childhood and its complexities. It remains an important work within Gotch's oeuvre and a significant piece within the context of late 19th-century British art, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its influence on subsequent artistic developments.
