"The Lady of Shalott" is an iconic oil painting completed in 1888 by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. It is one of Waterhouse's most famous works and depicts a scene from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name, which was itself inspired by the Arthurian legend of Elaine of Astolat. The painting portrays the tragic moment when the Lady of Shalott, bound by a mysterious curse to weave a magic web without looking directly at the outside world, catches sight of the handsome Sir Lancelot in her mirror and decides to look upon him directly, sealing her doom.

Waterhouse's interpretation is renowned for its rich symbolism, romantic style, and the haunting beauty of its subject. The painting captures the Lady of Shalott as she leaves her loom to float down the river to Camelot, having forsaken the safety of her isolation for the sake of love. The artwork is characterized by its vivid colors, meticulous attention to detail, and the poignant expression of the Lady, which conveys a sense of melancholy and foreboding.

Measuring 153 x 200 cm, the painting is a testament to Waterhouse's mastery of the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic, with its emphasis on naturalism, medievalism, and complex narrative content. The work is held in the collection of the Tate Britain in London and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless exploration of love, fate, and the artistic imagination. "The Lady of Shalott" remains a significant piece in the study of 19th-century British art and has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis, as well as a source of inspiration for various adaptations and cultural references.
