Friday Featured Art: The Lady of Shalott

Tennyson's poem, The Lady of Shalott inspired numerous works of art and references that continue to this day. These first three examples are works by John William Waterhouse - a later Pre-Raphaelite artist. The one with the boat is the classic one that you are probably all familiar with. The last image that I've included is a version by William Holman Hunt - another member of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood. I love the pose and the hair and the detail. Which do you like best?
