"Lamia" (1909) is a notable painting by the British artist John William Waterhouse, a prominent figure associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Waterhouse, known for his fascination with classical mythology and literature, often depicted themes of enchantment, beauty, and tragedy in his works. "Lamia" is no exception, drawing inspiration from the poem of the same name by John Keats, which tells the story of a beautiful enchantress who is transformed from a serpent into a woman.

The painting captures a poignant moment from Keats's narrative, where Lamia, having assumed human form, encounters her lover, Lycius. Waterhouse's interpretation is rich in symbolism and emotion, reflecting the tension between Lamia's supernatural origins and her desire for human love. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the lush, intricate background, which features a verdant landscape that enhances the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene.

Waterhouse's use of color and light in "Lamia" is particularly striking. The palette is dominated by rich, warm tones that contrast with the cooler hues of the background, creating a sense of depth and highlighting the central figures. Lamia herself is depicted with an ethereal beauty, her flowing garments and delicate features emphasizing her dual nature as both enchantress and tragic heroine.

The painting is a testament to Waterhouse's skill in blending narrative and visual elements to evoke a sense of timelessness and emotional resonance. "Lamia" not only showcases his technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex themes through his art. Today, "Lamia" is celebrated as one of Waterhouse's masterpieces, reflecting the enduring appeal of mythological and literary subjects in the visual arts.
