This is my absolute favorite John Waterhouse painting. I had been working on this particular painting off and on for several months.After having seen this HUGE painting at the Tate Museum, I decided to delete my earlier smaller versions, and do this as a large tapestry. Otherwise, the graph just doesn't do the piece justice. This painting was inspired by the poem The Lady of Shallot By Lord Tennyson. The poem is a haunting poem of a woman who is cursed all the days of her life to sit and weave, and she is never to look out the window at Camelot. She does, and this painting depicts the verse: And down the river's dim expanse Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance -- With a glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot. And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott. The Celtic Musician, Loreena McKennit has set this poem to words that is every bit as mesmorizing as this painting, I highly recommend it.
