Speaking of John William Waterhouse, I've had a poster of The Lady of Shalott on my living room wall for probably at least 10 years by now:

It's a bit faded, but less than I would have thought, given the amount of sunlight it must have suffered over time.

Part of the reason why I like it is the story that it's based on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_of_Shalott

Another reason is that the landscape is extremely atmospheric to look at (you need to see it full size to really appreciate that). Autumn is my favourite season. Something about the state of mind and and the feeling I get from looking at these half dead leaves and murky waters. I think it also reminds me of some places I used to "fish" for waterbugs near where my grandparents lived when I was a kid.
