Look at most 15th century art, the renaissance period, and baroque period.
Some of my favorites:
Lorenzo Ghiberti
Hieronymus Bosch
Donatello
Andrea Del Verrocchio
Fra Filippo Lippi
Luca Signorelli
Da Vinci
Michelangelo
Raphael
Titian
Tintoretto
Grunewald
Caravaggio
Gianlorenzo Bernini
Rubens
Gentileschi (one of the few female painters of her time)

The lady of shallot by Waterhouse,is one example. its in the tate gallery and is based on arthurian legend. The pre-raphaelites often used literature as an inspiration.
Thats a good start.
