John William Waterhouse

Ulysses and the Sirens

US$ 591.00

Ulysses strains against the mast, his crew rowing with wax-stopped ears, while the sirens close in as bird-women rather than the mermaids of later tradition. Waterhouse took the detail straight from Greek vase painting, which makes the picture stranger and more archaic than its Victorian audience expected.

Artist:

John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) was born in Rome to English painters and became the last major artist working in the Pre-Raphaelite manner, decades after the brotherhood dissolved. He returned repeatedly to women from myth and literature, painted with soft handling and a strong narrative instinct. He exhibited at the Royal Academy for over forty years.
