"Isabella and the Pot of Basil" (1897) is an oil painting by the American artist John White Alexander, an eminent figure in the world of fine arts during the turn of the 20th century. The painting is inspired by the narrative poem "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil" by the English Romantic poet John Keats, which in turn is an adaptation of a story from Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron." Alexander's work is part of a rich tradition of visual arts interpreting literary sources, showcasing the interplay between different artistic disciplines.

The painting depicts the tragic heroine, Isabella, in a moment of deep sorrow and contemplation, as she mourns the loss of her murdered lover, Lorenzo. In Keats's poem, Isabella secretly retrieves Lorenzo's severed head and places it in a pot of basil, which she lovingly tends as a way to remain close to him. Alexander's portrayal captures the intensity of Isabella's grief and her poignant connection to the basil pot, which symbolizes both her love and her loss.

John White Alexander's "Isabella and the Pot of Basil" is characterized by its fluid brushwork and the elegant, elongated form of Isabella, which reflects the artist's interest in the Art Nouveau movement. The painting's emotive quality is further enhanced by its rich color palette and the intricate details of Isabella's attire and the lush basil leaves, which draw the viewer into the depth of her emotional state.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, where it continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and its evocative representation of literary romance and tragedy. Alexander's work remains an important example of American art at the end of the 19th century, demonstrating the cultural and artistic exchanges between the United States and Europe during this period.
