The Pre-Raphaelites frequently used allegorical images to create a narrative to teach a moral virtue or virtues, and sometimes used contemporary literature as inspiration for their paintings, which often include numerous details that allow the viewer to "read" the painting. Millais used Tennyson's poetry to create a narrative for his painting of Mariana and he wanted to allow the viewer familiar with Tennyson's poetry to read the entire poem through the painting. It was first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1851 – the year after Tennyson was appointed as Poet Laureate – with a display caption that contained lines 9 to 12 from Tennyson's poem "Mariana" (1830): She only said, 'My life is dreary, He cometh not,' she said; She said, 'I am aweary, aweary,' I would that I were dead!' Millais's painting may have been painted as a companion piece to William Holman Hunt's 1850 painting Claudio and Isabella, which also depicts a scene from Measure for Measure.
