"Lear and Cordelia" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Ford Madox Brown, created in 1849-1854. The artwork is a historical and literary painting that depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear," specifically the reconciliation between the aged King Lear and his youngest daughter Cordelia, after Lear has been betrayed by his other two daughters, Goneril and Regan. This moment is one of the emotional climaxes of the play, where Lear, having descended into madness, recognizes Cordelia's loyalty and realizes the grave mistakes he has made in judging his daughters' love for him.

Ford Madox Brown, known for his meticulous attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors, captures the poignancy of the scene through the expressive gestures and the intense gazes of the characters. The painting is characterized by its dramatic intensity and the artist's interest in human psychology. Brown's composition reflects the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's ethos, which he was associated with, emphasizing truth to nature, complex compositions, and the use of symbolism.

The painting is notable for its departure from the idealized Victorian representations of Shakespearean subjects, presenting a more realistic portrayal of human emotion and suffering. "Lear and Cordelia" is considered an important work in Ford Madox Brown's oeuvre, exemplifying his narrative skill and his ability to convey profound emotional experiences. The artwork has been exhibited in various galleries and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the context of both Shakespearean interpretation and Pre-Raphaelite art.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance.
