"Rienzi Vowing to Obtain Justice for the Death of his Young Brother Slain in a Skirmish between the Colonna and Orsini Factions" is a painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt. Completed in 1849, the work is inspired by an episode from the life of Cola di Rienzo (1313–1354), a medieval Italian populist and leader who championed the cause of Rome's common people. The painting depicts a dramatic moment in which Rienzi, who would later become the Tribune of Rome, swears vengeance over the body of his dead brother, who was killed in the ongoing feuds between the noble families of the Colonna and Orsini.

Hunt's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to emulate the rich and complex visual style of Quattrocento Italian art, prior to the influence of Raphael. The painting's historical and political subject matter reflects the Pre-Raphaelites' interest in serious and moral themes, as well as their aim to bring the rigor of historical research to their art.

The painting is significant within Hunt's oeuvre and the broader context of Pre-Raphaelite art, as it exemplifies the movement's commitment to combining historical narrative with a moral or spiritual message. "Rienzi Vowing to Obtain Justice for the Death of his Young Brother Slain in a Skirmish between the Colonna and Orsini Factions" is not only a work of historical recreation but also a commentary on the contemporary issues of justice and social reform that were relevant in Victorian England.

This painting is part of a collection at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical prowess and its evocative portrayal of a pivotal moment in Italian history. Through this work, Hunt contributes to the rich tapestry of historical painting and provides a window into the ideals and concerns of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood.
