Sir Frank Dicksee and John William Waterhouse both have fairly well-known
and easy-to-find images of Keats' poem La Belle Dame Sans Merci (for that
matter, Keats went the other way, writing about a Greek vase in "Ode on a
Grecian Urn").
Waterhouse also has a very famous image of Ophelia from Shakespeare's
Hamlet, as does Millais.
In fact, I bet those darn Pre-Raphaelites had lots more literary paintings
if you wanted to do a bit more looking!
