This masterpiece is a part of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which aimed to return to abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions found in Quattrocento Italian art.

A Tragic Femme Fatale

Waterhouse's interest in themes associated with the Pre-Raphaelites, particularly tragic or powerful femmes fatales, is evident in The Lady of Shalott Study. This painting depicts a woman cursed to weave images of the world on her loom, forbidden from looking out her window directly.
