"Tennyson: A Journey through Art and Poetry" Step into the enchanting world of Tennyson, where art and poetry intertwine to create timeless masterpieces. From the hauntingly beautiful "Lady of Shalott" in 1888 by John William Waterhouse to the introspective "I am half sick of shadows" in c1911, Tennyson's words have captivated generations. In Vanity Fair's portrayal as a caricatured ape, we glimpse his influence on society. His poems echoed through time, resonating with readers who sought solace or inspiration within his verses. Tennyson himself was no stranger to war's impact, as seen in the wood engraving depicting the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War. His poem immortalized their bravery and sacrifice forever etched in history. Max Beerbohm captured a poignant moment when Mr. Tennyson read In Memoriam to his sovereign in 1904. The depth of emotion conveyed speaks volumes about Tennyson's ability to touch hearts with his words. Waterhouse's evocative painting portrays The Lady of Shalott looking longingly at Lancelot, capturing her yearning for love amidst her tragic fate. Another illustration shows her setting out on her boat for Camelot, embarking on an uncertain journey towards destiny. The forbidden love between Sir Lancelot and Queen Guinevere is vividly brought to life in a colored illustration from The Gateway To Tennyson published in 1910. It serves as a reminder that even great knights can succumb to desire and its consequences. Florence Harrison's depiction of Night sliding down adds an ethereal quality to Tennyson's poem "The Gardener. " Her artwork beautifully complements his words, enhancing our understanding and appreciation for nature’s wonders. Julia Margaret Cameron captures Vivien and Merlin locked in a captivating embrace, showcasing the complexities of power and manipulation.
