The Pre-Raphaelite painters wanted to paint like the artists before Raphael did. John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) was a British painter who worked in the Pre-Raphaelite style. But can older and more traditional ways of art also be considered as intermedial, and how? This will be examined in the case of John William Waterhouse's paining ‘The Lady of Shalott’ (1888). My main questions are: in what way is this a form of intermediality? How does the intermediality in the painting work? What is the effect of that in the painting? Background Intermediality is often considered as a modern form of art in which several forms of media or performance are brought together.

The painting ‘The Lady of Shalott’ (1888) by John William Waterhouse can be considered as a form of intermediality.
