Product Details:
The Lady of Shalott by John William Waterhouse is a Pre-Raphaelite painting inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem of the same name. It depicts the tragic moment when the Lady of Shalott, cursed to view the world only through a mirror and weave its reflection into a tapestry, leaves her tower and drifts down the river toward Camelot. Waterhouse captures her in a small boat, surrounded by flowers and flowing water, with her expression conveying a mix of resignation and melancholy. The painting emphasizes rich colors, intricate details, and romantic symbolism—hallmarks of the Pre-Raphaelite style—highlighting themes of isolation, artistic obsession, and doomed love. It remains one of Waterhouse’s most celebrated works, embodying both narrative drama and lyrical beauty.
