"The Passing of Arthur" is a photographic work by Julia Margaret Cameron, a pioneering British photographer known for her portraits of Victorian celebrities and for her illustrative images depicting scenes from literature, mythology, and religion. Created in 1874, this photograph is part of Cameron's illustrative series that captures the poetic and ethereal qualities of Arthurian legends, specifically drawing from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's "Idylls of the King," which retells the story of King Arthur, his knights, and the rise and fall of Camelot.

Cameron's "The Passing of Arthur" is a visual representation of the final moments of King Arthur, as described in Tennyson's narrative poem. The work is characterized by its soft focus and dramatic lighting, which were hallmarks of Cameron's style and contributed to the dreamlike and sometimes spiritual quality of her images. The photograph likely features costumed models, as was common in Cameron's staged compositions, to embody the characters from the Arthurian tale.

As with many of Cameron's photographs, "The Passing of Arthur" reflects her deep engagement with the themes of heroism, chivalry, and the transcendent nature of legend. Her work often sought to elevate photography to the status of high art by aligning it with the grand themes of history and literature.

Julia Margaret Cameron's contributions to the field of photography were significant, as she pushed the boundaries of the medium's expressive potential. "The Passing of Arthur" exemplifies her artistic vision and her role in the development of narrative photography in the 19th century. Today, her works are held in the collections of major museums around the world and continue to be the subject of scholarly interest and public admiration.
