Dante Gabriel Rossetti's 'Arthur's Tomb' captures a poignant moment between Lancelot and Guinevere by King Arthur's tomb. This watercolour reflects the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's interest in medieval subjects and romantic themes.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti's watercolour, Arthur's Tomb, completed in 1854, depicts a scene of Arthurian legend. Rossetti, a leading figure in the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, often drew inspiration from literature and mythology, imbuing his works with romantic and symbolic elements. This piece reflects the Pre-Raphaelite interest in medieval subjects and detailed, realistic representation. The painting shows Lancelot and Guinevere standing by King Arthur's tomb. Lancelot, clad in red, leans on the tomb, his face close to Guinevere's. Guinevere, dressed in black and white, looks at Lancelot with a conflicted expression. The tomb itself is adorned with depictions of scenes from Arthurian lore, rendered in a style reminiscent of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The surrounding landscape is lush and green, with trees framing the figures and adding to the overall sense of romantic melancholy. The composition is carefully balanced, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures and their emotional interaction.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Co-founded the Pre-Raphaelites at nineteen, buried his poems in his wife's coffin, dug them up seven years later, and painted his friend's wife obsessively.
