"The Lady of Shalott" is a renowned oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1888. This artwork is one of Waterhouse's most celebrated pieces, embodying the Pre-Raphaelite movement's fascination with Arthurian legend, medievalism, and a keen attention to detail and vibrant color. The painting is inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name, which narrates the tragic story of a young woman living under a mysterious curse in a tower on the island of Shalott, near Camelot.

Waterhouse's depiction captures the pivotal moment when the Lady of Shalott, compelled by a forbidden desire to gaze directly upon the world outside, looks into a mirror and sees Sir Lancelot. This act of looking directly at Camelot brings the curse upon her, leading her to leave the tower and find a boat upon which she writes her name before dying tragically as the boat drifts down to Camelot. The painting is rich in symbolic detail, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite interest in themes of love, death, and beauty. It portrays the Lady of Shalott in a boat, surrounded by a lush, intricately detailed landscape, encapsulating the moment of her final journey.

Waterhouse's work is characterized by its romanticism and its blending of classical and literary subjects, with "The Lady of Shalott" standing as a quintessential example of his style and thematic interests. The painting is celebrated for its emotional depth, technical skill, and the way it captures the imagination, drawing viewers into the tragic world of its subject. Today, "The Lady of Shalott" is held in high regard both as a masterpiece of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and as a poignant interpretation of Tennyson's poem, resonating with audiences for its haunting beauty and the timeless story it portrays.
