"Una and the Lion" is a notable oil painting by Scottish artist William Bell Scott, exhibited in 1860. The painting is inspired by Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene," specifically from Book I, which tells the allegorical tale of the Redcrosse Knight representing the virtue of Holiness, and his lady Una, who symbolizes Truth. In the narrative, Una is accompanied by a lion, which represents honor and bravery, and becomes her protector after being charmed by her innocence and purity.

William Bell Scott, an influential figure associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his detailed and vivid works that often drew from literature and history. In "Una and the Lion," Scott captures the moment of serene companionship between Una and the lion, set against a lush and idyllic landscape. The painting is rich in symbolic elements and showcases Scott's meticulous attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors, which were characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's aesthetic principles.

The artwork is significant for its representation of Victorian ideals of femininity and virtue, as well as for its reflection of the Pre-Raphaelites' interest in medievalism and their quest to convey moral and spiritual truths through art. "Una and the Lion" has been discussed by art historians in the context of Scott's broader oeuvre and the cultural milieu of 19th-century Britain, and it remains an important example of the cross-pollination between visual arts and literature during the Victorian era.

Today, "Una and the Lion" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural and historical relevance. It continues to be studied and exhibited as a significant work in the canon of British art, offering insight into the themes and artistic concerns of the period in which it was created.
