Two very popular themes at DA are "The Lady of the Lake" and "Ophelia". Many artists like the combination of a beautiful women, water lilies and a lake or river. The two themes may look similar, but the characters are very differnt. The role of the water is even the opposite: Life and magic against death and melancholy...
The Lady of the Lake is the name of several related characters who play integral parts in the Arthurian legend. These characters' roles include giving King Arthur his sword Excalibur, taking the dying king to Avalon after the Battle of Camlann, enchanting Merlin, and raising Lancelot after the death of his father. Different writers and copyists give her name variously as Nimue, Viviane, Niniane, Nyneve, and other variations.

"On the calm black water where the stars are sleeping
White Ophelia floats like a great lily;
Floats very slowly, lying in her long veils...
- In the far-off woods you can hear them sound the mort. [...]"
[Arthur Rimbaud]
