"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.

Today's poem:
The Oak
- by Alfred, Lord TennysonLive thy Life,
Young and old,
Like yon oak,
Bright in spring,
Living gold;Summer-rich
Then; and then
Autumn-changed
Soberer-hued
Gold again.All his leaves
Fall'n at length,
Look, he stands,
Trunk and bough
Naked strength. -

At Eastbourne #OnThisDay 1892, Lewis Carroll recorded in his journal just four words: "Death of Alfred #Tennyson." It was a personal blow to him as well as a national event, as Ray Dyer explains: https://victorianweb.org/authors/carroll/tennysonchron1.html

Holmes's extraordinary biography allows us to witness Tennyson wrestling with mind-altering ideas of geology and deep time, the vastness, beauty and terror of the new cosmology, and the challenges of social revolution. And how these inspired him to grapple with the idea of human mortality, the threat of suicide and depression, the struggle between love and loneliness, agnosticism and belief. -
