"The Lady of Shalott" is an 1894 oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse. It is one of three paintings by Waterhouse that depict scenes from the ballad of the same name by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. This particular work captures the moment when the Lady of Shalott, bound by a mysterious curse to weave a magic web without looking directly at the outside world, makes the fateful decision to gaze upon Sir Lancelot through a mirror. The painting is renowned for its vivid portrayal of the Lady's despair and the rich, symbolic landscape that surrounds her.

Waterhouse's interpretation of the Tennyson poem is a masterful blend of Romanticism and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's attention to detail and symbolism. The painting features the Lady of Shalott in a boat, just after she has left her tower, where she was confined to view the world only through reflections. Her face reflects the sorrow and resignation of her fate, as she floats down to Camelot, surrounded by the tapestry that she had been weaving. The scene is set against a backdrop of a richly colored and detailed landscape, which includes the river, the autumn leaves, and the distant castle of Camelot.

The 1894 version of "The Lady of Shalott" is considered one of Waterhouse's most iconic works and is often cited as a prime example of Pre-Raphaelite art. It is characterized by its moody atmosphere, the Gothic beauty of the Lady, and the intricate detail of the natural surroundings. The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's fascination with themes of love, death, and the supernatural, and it continues to captivate audiences with its haunting beauty and emotional depth.

The work is held in a private collection, but it has been exhibited in various galleries and has been reproduced in numerous art books, making it accessible to a wide audience. It remains a popular subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and it continues to inspire discussions about the interplay between literature and visual art.
