"Robert Braithwaite Martineau (1826–1869)" is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt, created as a posthumous tribute to his friend and fellow artist, Robert Braithwaite Martineau. Martineau, who was a genre painter influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's principles, died at the young age of 43. Hunt's painting is not only a commemoration of Martineau's life and work but also a reflection of the close-knit community of artists who were part of the Pre-Raphaelite movement during the mid-19th century.

The painting is a portrait that captures Martineau in a thoughtful pose, possibly engaged in the contemplation of a subject for his next artwork or reflecting on a piece he was working on. The attention to detail, use of vivid colors, and the emphasis on natural light are characteristic of Hunt's style and the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic, which sought to challenge the conventions of the art establishment by returning to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art.

William Holman Hunt, one of the founding members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous approach to painting and his dedication to capturing the intricacies of nature and the human spirit. His portrayal of Martineau is consistent with these ideals, offering a window into the character and intellect of the artist, as well as serving as a poignant reminder of the Brotherhood's collective ethos and the personal bonds between its members.

The painting serves as an important historical document, providing insight into the relationships and mutual respect that existed among the Pre-Raphaelite artists. It also stands as a testament to the impact that Martineau had on his contemporaries, despite his relatively short career. The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its role in chronicling the narrative of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the Victorian art scene of the time.
