John William Waterhouse is one of the most important, famous and best loved pre-raphaelite artists. This painting is based on a poem by John Keats about a soldier, found wandering lost on the hillside, who is telling the narrator that he met a fairy, and she took him to her home where he fell asleep. In his dreams, noblemen warned him that the fairy was a merciless woman that would trick him, and when he woke up he was alone on the hillside. Many great painters have made paintings about this poem, some even have the exact same name.
