The Lady of Shalott was a Victorian poem written by the English poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. His 1832 poem, itself inspired by medieval Arthurian legend, inspired the famous 1888 painting by John William Waterhouse, also entitled The Lady of Shalott. The painting features Elaine the Fair, ever moved by her love for Sir Lancelot, escaping from a tower along the river and making her way towards Camelot. This is a brand new woven replica of Waterhouse's masterpiece, artfully woven in Belgium in tapestry form.
