Painting Description
"The Lady of Shalott (1872–1873)" is an oil painting by the British artist Arthur Hughes, which illustrates a scene from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 1832 poem of the same name. The painting is one of several works by different artists inspired by Tennyson's poem, which tells the tragic story of a young noblewoman subjected to a mysterious curse that confines her to a tower on the island of Shalott, near Camelot. She is forbidden to look directly at reality outside her window and must view the world through a mirror. The curse is triggered when she dares to look directly at Sir Lancelot, leading to her eventual demise.
Hughes, associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was known for his meticulous attention to detail, vibrant colors, and themes of medievalism and romanticism, all of which are evident in this work. In "The Lady of Shalott," Hughes captures the pivotal moment when the lady turns away from her loom, about to gaze upon Lancelot, thus sealing her fate. The painting is characterized by its rich symbolism, the use of intense and emotive color, and the intricate depiction of the natural environment surrounding the lady, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite interest in nature and fidelity to detail.
The artwork measures 73.7 x 54 cm and is part of a private collection. It has been exhibited in various galleries and has garnered critical attention for its faithful representation of the poem and its embodiment of the aesthetic principles of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. "The Lady of Shalott (1872–1873)" is considered an important example of Hughes's work and a significant contribution to the visual interpretations of Tennyson's literary masterpiece.
