"The Lady of Shallott," John William Waterhouse, 1888.
Although he was never actually a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which split up while he was a child, Waterhouse (1849-1917) adopted their style with enthusiasm and is now strongly associated with them.
He loved painting scenes from Shakespeare and from famous poems, and this is from a popular poem by Tennyson, about a woman who is under a curse and can only look at the world through a mirror, or else she would die. She spends her time weaving a tapestry of what she sees. Finally, she decides to face the world, no matter the consequences, and sets off in a boat to see Camelot...and then to die.
The colors and subject matter are definitely Pre-Raphaelite, and it's also very naturalistic, with the plants and birds on the river. She sits on the tapestry she wove, which drags in the water. She has a crucifix and three candles on the boat; two of them are out already, indicating her coming death. Her expression is vulnerable and sad; she knows she will die, but feels she has to see the world for herself.
It's an iconic and popular painting, and gorgeous to boot.
From the Tate Britain, London.

Daily wire went broke making an Arthurian epic? Well, it's not hard to declare this more worthwhile than any of their content...
But why would they green light fiction in the first place? It's a Christian author but not like that's unusual for #KingArthur -

King Arthur might be Britain’s best known monarch but he most likely never existed.
The earliest writings about him date from 300 years after he is supposed to have lived, and most historians do not consider him a historical figure.
