‘Destiny ‘ the one that is on my wall at Twitterarty central. Love this. The original is apparently small and at Towneley Hall Art Gallery Burnley. Back soon 😊🍁
It was the closing of the day:
She loos'd the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott..

'The Lady of Shalott' is a painting of 1888 by John William Waterhouse. It is a representation of the ending of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's 1832 poem of the same name.

One of my favourite pictures by him is of the Mystic Wood where he captured a twilight forest exquisitely. The Mystic Wood (1914-17), Flower Study (1915-16) & I Am Half Sick of Shadows, Said the Lady of Shalott (1915)
We should probably think of Waterhouse’s art as mood music. Its point is it’s beauty - no more, no less. And it is ravishing. Ophelia (1894), The Lady of Shalott (1894) & Phyllis Waterlow (1895)
Thread: John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) was a late English follower of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. His romantic vision remains popular today & is amongst the finest Late Victorian art. Lady of Shalott (1888) is perhaps his most famous work.
#FairyTaleTuesday #FairyTaleFlash Under enchantment, The Lady of Shalott cannot leave her weaving & sees the world through a mirror. As Lancelot passes, she falls in love, leaves the tower."The mirror crack'd from side to side, the curse is come upon me cried The Lady of Shallot"
It was the closing of the day:
She loos'd the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.
