"Gareth and Lynette" is a photographic work by Julia Margaret Cameron from 1874. Cameron was a pioneer of the Pre-Raphaelite style in photography, known for her soft focus and dramatic compositions. This image depicts a scene from the Arthurian legend, with Gareth kneeling over the sleeping Lynette. Cameron's work often explores themes of beauty, love, and mortality. Her unique style, with its soft edges and expressive subjects, is a testament to the artistic potential of photography. The photograph is currently located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
