"The Lady of Shalott" is an illustration by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, created for the 1857 edition of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poetry, published by Edward Moxon and often referred to as the Moxon Tennyson. The illustration accompanies Tennyson's poem of the same name, which tells the story of a woman under a mysterious curse who is confined to a tower on the island of Shalott, near Camelot. Rossetti, a prominent figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, was one of several artists commissioned to illustrate Tennyson's work for this edition, which sought to create a synergy between visual art and poetry.

In Rossetti's interpretation, "The Lady of Shalott" depicts the pivotal moment when the lady, who is forbidden to look directly at reality outside her window, sees the reflection of Sir Lancelot in her mirror and decides to turn towards the window, sealing her tragic fate. The illustration is characterized by the intricate detail and vibrant color typical of the Pre-Raphaelite style, as well as its emphasis on romantic and medieval themes. Rossetti's work captures the intensity of the lady's longing and the poignancy of her isolation, themes that resonate with the broader Pre-Raphaelite interest in the intersection of love, beauty, and death.

The Moxon Tennyson was a significant publication in the history of book illustration and is considered a milestone in the collaboration between artists and poets during the Victorian era. Rossetti's contribution to this volume not only reflects his artistic vision but also his interpretation of Tennyson's poetry, offering a visual counterpart to the text that has influenced the way readers envision the narrative of "The Lady of Shalott." The illustration remains an important example of Rossetti's work and of Pre-Raphaelite art, and it continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the interpretation of Victorian literature.
