This splendid painting was painted in 1888 by the English painter ” John William Waterhouse”, so this magnificent painting was inspired by the lyrical Arturian medieval ballad of Alfred Tennyson ”The lady of Shalott”. Thus, the painting depicts the tragic end of Tennyson’s ballad in which the lady of Shalott passed away of unreciprocated love.
