Lady of Shallot by Pre-Raphaelite JW Waterhouse Canvas Print
The Pre-Raphaelite oil painting Lady of Shallot by John William Waterhouse is based upon the poem of the same name by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Condemned to a tower prison cell, the Lady could only weave what she saw through a mirror into a tapestry. One day, she saw Lancelot and the knights of Camelot riding by in her mirror and she dared to look directly out her window upon King Arthur’s Camelot. Escaping her curse, she floated down a river towards Camelot, where Lancelot and the knights found her dead body. Depicting the lady with her tapestry draped over the side of her river boat, the painting reflects the pre-Raphaelite emphasis on jewel-like colours, decorative patterns, mediaeval and early Renaissance compositional styles, and influences from the schools of Romanticism and Impressionism.
John William Waterhouse (1849 - 1917) was an English painter of the Pre-Raphaelite school of the late 19th century. After studying at the British Royal Academy of Art, Waterhouse painted classical scenes from ancient Greek mythology, gradually acquiring the stylistic traits of the Pre-Raphaelites as well as the painterly qualities of the French Impressionists. Though overshadowed by the more famous members of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, Waterhouse exhibited with great success and produced many paintings with themes of female figures from mythology and the legends of King Arthur.

Very impressive product! The canvas is sturdily made. It features a saw tooth hanger on the back, making it easy to "try out" the canvas in several rooms until I found the best location. It attracts good comments from my friends. I love it! The printing is wonderful! Colors are as bright and crisp as they appeared on the website.

I ordered this as a sample, to test the quality for my shop. I like it very much. The photo print turned out nicely, love the substantial 1.5" wrap-effect for this piece. I can sell this artwork with confidence. Excellent color and clarity of the photo print.

I needed an odd size piece of art to cover an ugly electric box panel in my newly finished basement. This piece fit the bill exactly. I've always loved Alphonse Mucha's art and this product was the exact size and style I was looking for. The art is vivid and looks great in my new bathroom. The printing was much better than I was expecting. The image is crisp and clear and the colors are amazing.
