"The Beautiful Woman Without Mercy" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, which was created in 1893. This artwork is inspired by the ballad "La Belle Dame sans Merci" written by the English poet John Keats in 1819. The title translates to "The Beautiful Lady Without Mercy," and the poem tells the story of a knight who is seduced and abandoned by a mysterious and supernatural woman.

Waterhouse's painting captures the essence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which emphasized a return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. The movement also often featured themes from mythology, literature, and poetry, particularly focusing on the femme fatale archetype and the intersection of love, beauty, and death.

In "The Beautiful Woman Without Mercy," Waterhouse depicts the enchanting woman as a captivating figure who embodies both beauty and danger. The knight appears enthralled by her, illustrating the theme of the destructive power of feminine allure that is central to Keats's ballad. The painting is characterized by its rich, vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, both hallmarks of Waterhouse's style.

Waterhouse's work is often celebrated for its ability to blend classical subjects with a modern sensibility, and "The Beautiful Woman Without Mercy" is no exception. It is a prime example of how the artist could evoke the romanticism and mysticism of bygone eras while still resonating with the contemporary audiences of his time.

The painting is part of Waterhouse's broader oeuvre, which includes other famous works such as "The Lady of Shalott," "Ophelia," and "Hylas and the Nymphs." It is held in a private collection and continues to be admired for its evocative portrayal of one of literature's most haunting poetic creations.
