"The Lady of Shalott II" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt, which depicts a scene from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 1832 poem of the same name. The work is a reinterpretation of the theme that Hunt had previously explored in an earlier version. This painting, created in the latter part of Hunt's career, showcases his continued interest in literary subjects and his commitment to the Pre-Raphaelite principles of detailed, vivid representation and complex symbolism.

In the narrative of Tennyson's poem, the Lady of Shalott is cursed to weave images on her loom without looking directly at the outside world. Instead, she must view it through a mirror. The curse is destined to be broken if she gazes directly upon Camelot, leading to her eventual demise. Hunt's painting captures the pivotal moment when the Lady of Shalott, compelled by the reflection of the handsome Sir Lancelot, turns away from the mirror to look out of the window toward Camelot, thus sealing her tragic fate.

The painting is notable for its rich use of color, meticulous attention to detail, and the incorporation of symbolic elements that reflect the Pre-Raphaelite fascination with medievalism and moral narratives. Hunt's work is characterized by its depth of psychological insight and the portrayal of the Lady of Shalott as a figure caught between the spiritual and material worlds, a common theme in Victorian art and literature.

"The Lady of Shalott II" is part of a broader cultural legacy of visual art inspired by Tennyson's poem, which has captivated artists for its romanticism and its exploration of themes such as the role of the artist, the nature of creativity, and the consequences of transgression. Hunt's interpretation is a testament to the enduring influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement and its impact on the visual arts during the 19th century. The painting is held in a private collection or a public institution, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
