Painting Description
"Circe 1911" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, created in the year 1911. The artwork is part of a series of paintings by Waterhouse that depict Circe, a powerful sorceress from Greek mythology, who is best known for her role in Homer's Odyssey. In the epic, she transforms Odysseus's men into swine after they drink from her cup.
Waterhouse's fascination with classical mythology and strong, enchanting female figures is evident in "Circe 1911." The painting portrays the enchantress in a moment of quiet contemplation, surrounded by the lush and exotic flora of her island, hinting at the hidden dangers that await unsuspecting visitors. Circe is often depicted with a cup in her hand, referencing the potion she used to bewitch her victims.
The artwork reflects Waterhouse's mastery of capturing the interplay between beauty and power, and the tension between the human and the supernatural. His use of rich colors and detailed brushwork contribute to the overall atmosphere of enchantment and seduction that is characteristic of his interpretations of mythological subjects.
"Circe 1911" is a testament to Waterhouse's enduring legacy as a painter who bridged the gap between the Pre-Raphaelite movement and the symbolists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works continue to be celebrated for their technical skill, emotional depth, and the evocative portrayal of mythological themes. This painting, like many of his others, remains a favorite among art enthusiasts and scholars for its captivating depiction of one of mythology's most intriguing figures.
