"The Lady of Shalott III" is a painting by the Pre-Raphaelite artist William Holman Hunt, created in 1886-1905. This work is part of a series of paintings by Hunt that illustrate Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott," which tells the tragic story of a cursed maiden who is confined to a tower and can only view the world through a mirror. The Lady of Shalott is doomed to weave a tapestry of scenes she sees in the mirror, but when she looks directly at the handsome Sir Lancelot, the curse is triggered, leading to her demise.

Hunt's interpretation of Tennyson's poem is rich with symbolic detail and vibrant color, characteristic of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's emphasis on realism, elaborate detail, and complex compositions. In "The Lady of Shalott III," Hunt captures the climactic moment when the Lady, having defied the curse, leaves her loom and looks out of the window towards Camelot. The painting is imbued with a sense of impending doom, as the Lady's expression and the chaotic unraveling of her tapestry foreshadow her tragic fate.

The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns of the Lady's tapestry, the lushness of the surrounding foliage, and the ethereal quality of the light that bathes the scene. Hunt's use of bright, jewel-like colors and his focus on naturalistic detail reflect the influence of medieval art and literature, which were central to the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic.

"The Lady of Shalott III" is not only a visual representation of Tennyson's poem but also a commentary on the role of the artist and the nature of artistic creation. The Lady's act of looking directly at the world, despite the consequences, can be seen as a metaphor for the artist's pursuit of truth and beauty, even at great personal cost. This painting remains a significant example of Hunt's work and a testament to the enduring power of Tennyson's poetry.
