Circe Offering the Cup to Ulysses: John William Waterhouse
The Royal Academy of Arts presents a major retrospective exhibition of the late Pre-Raphaelite artist, John William Waterhouse RA (1849-1917). His works were heavily influenced by poetry, from Keats to Tennyson, as seen in his paintings such as The Lady of Shallot, La Belle Dame Sans Merci and the Mermaid.
The artist inherited the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood’s taste for Shakespeare and classical myth as interpreted by Homer and Ovid. His images belie a Romantic fascination with intense female passions and when seen together in their massive gilt frames, the large, richly coloured canvases deliver a visual impact that is both compelling and unprecedented. This will be the first major Waterhouse show to have been presented in the United Kingdom since the late 1970s
