Elaine, 1865, is a notable watercolor painting by the British artist Edward Henry Corbould. Corbould, who was renowned for his historical and literary subjects, created this work during the Victorian era, a period marked by a fascination with medieval themes and romanticism. The painting draws its inspiration from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott," which is part of his larger work, "Idylls of the King." This poem, in turn, is based on the Arthurian legend of Elaine of Astolat, a maiden who dies of unrequited love for Sir Lancelot.

In Elaine, 1865, Corbould captures the poignant moment of Elaine's death. The composition is rich in detail and emotion, reflecting the Victorian era's penchant for dramatic and sentimental storytelling. Elaine is depicted lying in a boat, her lifeless body adorned with flowers, as she is sent down the river to Camelot. The scene is both serene and sorrowful, with Corbould's delicate brushwork and use of color enhancing the ethereal quality of the moment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of Elaine's gown and the lush, natural surroundings, which serve to heighten the overall sense of melancholy and beauty.

Corbould's Elaine, 1865, is a testament to his skill as a watercolorist and his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through his art. The painting not only reflects the Victorian fascination with medieval romance and tragedy but also showcases Corbould's mastery of the watercolor medium, which was highly prized during this period. Today, Elaine, 1865, remains an important example of Victorian art, illustrating the era's literary influences and the enduring appeal of Arthurian legends.
