"Arthur's Tomb: The Last Meeting of Lancelot and Guinevere" is a pre-Raphaelite painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, an English poet, illustrator, painter, and translator. The work, completed in 1855, is part of Rossetti's series of artworks that depict scenes from Arthurian legends, which were a popular subject among the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of English painters, poets, and critics founded in 1848.

The painting captures a poignant moment from the Arthurian romance cycle, specifically the clandestine and tragic romance between Sir Lancelot, one of King Arthur's most trusted knights, and Queen Guinevere, Arthur's wife. Rossetti's composition presents the two lovers at their final meeting beside the tomb of King Arthur, whose death is indirectly caused by their adulterous relationship. The setting is somber and reflective of the consequences of their actions, which led to the downfall of the legendary kingdom of Camelot.

Rossetti's depiction is rich in symbolism and emotional depth, characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with medieval themes, chivalric ideals, and the complex interplay of love, honor, and betrayal. The painting is noted for its vivid coloration, attention to detail, and the intense gazes shared between Lancelot and Guinevere, which convey a deep sense of loss and remorse. The tomb itself serves as a stark reminder of the finality of death and the end of an era, while the presence of the lovers suggests the enduring nature of their passion.

"Arthur's Tomb: The Last Meeting of Lancelot and Guinevere" is considered an important work within Rossetti's oeuvre and the broader context of Pre-Raphaelite art. It exemplifies the movement's commitment to literary themes, emotional intensity, and the rejection of conventional artistic norms of the Victorian era. The painting is held in a private collection, but its influence continues to be felt in the realms of art and literature, as it captures the timeless appeal of the Arthurian legends and the human experiences they encapsulate.
