The Lady of Shalott is cursed. She sits in her tower and weaves tapestries. That is the mysterious background to the poem that inspired these paintings by John William Waterhouse.
He painted the story three times over the course of his career. All three paintings are wonderful and show us different parts of the story. So in this video, I discuss them all and tell you all about the poem that inspired them.

The painting of The lady of Shalott in the boat has always been one of my favorites!

@incognito3620 Год назад

John Waterhouse was one of the great Victorian painters.

I had the huge privilege to see this picture recently and I must say it is even more impressive in person. The level of skill apparent in the painting is mind-blowing and humbling.

Loreena Mckennitt does a beautiful song out of the poem!

Enormous thanks to you for finding the time to present these episodes from the world of art. Having the background information and titbits regarding the actual paintings is super helpful to all that would profess a love of these masterpieces. Waterhouse was a magnificent artist who ranked with the best of the Victorian painters and was so deserving of his acclaim. According to his sister Mary she was the model for his 1888, and most popular, painting!

I could hug you!!! It drives me insane that so many "art historians" refer to Waterhouse as a Pre-Raphaelite!!! His manner of painting is the direct opposite of theirs. What are they thinking of? Are they blind???? I must add, though, that the majority of Waterhouse's paintings have classical subject matter, not medieval. He was a true academic painter, albeit one of the most brushstroke-y.

Great! I am always open for hugs

Thank you for this, I'm a great fan of J. W. Waterhouse and have this one on my living room wall alongside "Boreas" and "Echo and Narcissus". It's is always interesting to know more about the background of a painting and the story behind it.

@melanie8178 Год назад

Enjoyed the background story of the painter and the picture. Well done.😂

@incognito3620 Год назад

Pre- Raphaelites painted one hundred years earlier. I love Waterhouse’s paintings.

In the early 2000s I saw "I am half sick of shadows" in Ocala, Florida. I saw "The Lady of Shalott" when I was a child at the Tate. Unfortunately I don't remember 😆 but my mom was so taken with it that she bought a print that has been in her bedroom ever since. I should go to Leeds and shoot for having seen all three! Enjoyed the video, thank you.

Thanks voor de story... but the first painting with the boat speaks for it's self, one can sense the emotion and it's so beautiful and fine painted that i say, this is a master painting

@JaneCarr-tf7ro 3 месяца назад

Thank you very much. I am an African. I love poetry and art. Your lesson has made it easy for me to understand the Lady of Shallot better.

Hi Carel, I really love the Pre-Raphaelites (and also, by extension, John William Waterhouse), so thank you for delighting us with these fabulous paintings. Very much appreciated. Dank je wel.

The moral of the story came in the book written by Agatha Christie: The mirror cracked from side to side A mother who feels being doomed like Lady Shallot And any parents , like me , has a special needs child , can understand it very well. Sometimes the feeling is weird like we are living in a poet.

@rashmiramaswamy6472 Год назад

Hi Carl - would love to see some videos about Dutch Architects if you feel like stretching to that topic

@storiesofart Год назад

That is a great idea. I'll see what I can do

@simontemplate Год назад

I really enjoyed this presentation although I couldn’t help noticing the absence of any critique of the art itself. You mentioned that Waterhouse was not a Pre-Raphaelite but painted in the Academic style although favouring Pre-Raphaelite subject matter. To me the painting does look Pre-Raphaelite so perhaps in a later piece you can explain the Academic style and how it differs? Many thanks and keep up the great work.

@storiesofart Год назад

Good point!

@michaeljohnangel6359 3 месяца назад

You should look again. The Pre-Raphaelite paintings are very smoothly painted and contain a plethora of finely rendered detail; Waterhouse's paintings are extremely painterly (like Sargent's or William Merrit Chase's or Mancini's or, better yet, Favretto;s, for example)-they are broadly painted, even in their details. You are being confused by the partially shared subject matter.

Hello, Thank You for Your amazing videos. A question: Do you have a video about “ Virgin of the rocks “ Thank You again

Not yet, but that is a good suggestion
