Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded is a series of paintings by the English artist Joseph Highmore, created in the mid-18th century. Highmore, an accomplished portraitist and illustrator, was inspired by Samuel Richardson's epistolary novel "Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded," which was published in 1740. The novel tells the story of a young maidservant named Pamela Andrews, who resists the advances of her wealthy employer, Mr. B, and ultimately marries him, thus rising in social status. Highmore's series of paintings captures key moments from this narrative, reflecting the novel's themes of virtue, morality, and social mobility.

The series consists of twelve paintings, each meticulously depicting significant scenes from Richardson's novel. Highmore's work is notable for its detailed and expressive portrayal of the characters' emotions and the intricate settings that bring the 18th-century English domestic life to vivid life. The paintings were initially exhibited in 1744 and were well-received by contemporary audiences, who were already familiar with Richardson's popular novel. Highmore's ability to translate the written word into visual art was praised, and the series was considered a significant contribution to the genre of literary painting.

Highmore's Pamela series is also significant for its role in the development of narrative painting in England. By choosing to illustrate a contemporary novel, Highmore helped to bridge the gap between literature and visual art, encouraging viewers to engage with the story on a deeper level. The series also reflects the broader cultural and social changes of the time, including the rise of the novel as a literary form and the increasing importance of individual virtue and morality in society.

Today, Highmore's Pamela paintings are regarded as important works in the history of English art. They are held in various collections, including the Tate Gallery in London, where they continue to be studied and appreciated for their artistic and historical significance.
