Julia Margaret Cameron The Disappointment 1865 Getty |
Julia Margaret Cameron (1815-1879) devoted much of her best artistic energy to the now-unfashionable genre of the narrative tableau. The Victorians were exceptionally fond of staging these static episodes from favored literary sources. Tennyson was a friend and near neighbor of the Camerons at their summer house on the Isle of Wight. The influence of his knights and ladies on Mrs. Cameron's imagination was particularly powerful.
