I have had an obsession with the Lady of Shalott since childhood. I saw the Anne of Green Gables movies based on the books and Anne read aloud the poem of the Lady of Shalott written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson while standing on a bridge. I first loved the poem and then saw a print of the painting and became enthralled with John Waterhouse and the Pre-Raphaelite style. I also fell in love with the Ophelia print because in high school I read Ophelia's part in my A.P. class when we read Hamlet. What I espesially like about the Pre-Raph style is that they feel that people are beautiful even with their faults; Raphael would fix a nose here or flatten a tummy there. The Lady of Shalott's nose is beautifully crooked and her abdomen is naturally round.
This website kicks ass!

p.s. I haven't watched animaniacs since ninth or tenth grade (and I just finished my fifth year in college) but here goes...

This statement is incorrect: "A portrait of Waterhouse by Alma Tadema is in the National Portrait Gallery."
Please update it. |

I first fell in love with Waterhouse's works when I went on a school fieldtrip to the AGO (Art Gallery of Ontario) and saw his "I'm half sick of shadows..." The painting really touched me for I love mythology. I love your site... keep it up!!! |

I was reading The King of Elfland's Daughter (by Lord Dunsany) with Waterhouse's La Belle Dame sans Merci on the cover. I searched the title and discovered this lovely site with all these exquisite paintings. Thank you thank you for introducing me to Mr Waterhouse and his wonderful work! |
