"Mariana in the Moated Grange" is an oil painting by the British artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed in 1851. The painting is an interpretation of a character from William Shakespeare's play "Measure for Measure," and it also draws inspiration from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "Mariana," which itself is a poetic expansion on Shakespeare's creation. Millais was a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848 who aimed to reform art by rejecting what they considered the mechanistic approach that had come to dominate the academic painting of the time.

The artwork depicts Mariana, a woman abandoned by her betrothed, Angelo, in a state of deep melancholy and longing. The setting is a moated grange, which is an isolated and dilapidated farmhouse surrounded by a water-filled ditch or moat. The painting is rich in symbolic detail and meticulous in its attention to the naturalistic elements characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite style. Millais's use of vibrant colors and intricate details reflects the influence of early Renaissance art, which the Brotherhood sought to emulate in its fidelity to nature and in its vivid, almost luminous palette.

"Mariana in the Moated Grange" is notable for its emotional depth and the way it captures the essence of Mariana's despair through both the environment and her posture. The painting's composition, with Mariana stretching her back in a weary pose, suggests a sense of restlessness and the passage of time. The inclusion of autumn leaves and a setting sun further evoke a sense of decay and the waning of hope.

As a work of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, "Mariana in the Moated Grange" is significant for its exploration of literary themes, its technical precision, and its challenge to the artistic norms of the Victorian era. The painting is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and as an exemplar of Millais's early style, before he moved towards a broader and more commercial approach in his later career. It remains an important piece in the study of 19th-century British art and the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
