The Lady of Shalott, the most famous painting by John William Waterhouse, 1888, oil on canvas. A scene from Tennyson's Poem by the same name. John William Waterhouse, English Painter, born in Rome, 1849 - 1917 . He painted in the Pre-Raphaelite style, scenes of daily life, and of mythology.  He loved to paint women and he did that beautifully.

I love images beautifully painted by this man, inspired by life, poems, mythology, infused with bright colors. I admire his style. British artist, born in Rome. Love his art. _____________________ November 23, 2015 Nonet For the contest, Favorite Painter, sponsor, Nayda Ivette Negron First Place
