"Study for Jason and Medea" is a preparatory work by the renowned British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, created as part of the process leading to his finished painting "Jason and Medea" (1907). This study exemplifies Waterhouse's meticulous approach to composition and his fascination with classical mythology, themes that permeate much of his oeuvre. The artwork serves as an exploration of form, color, and narrative, providing insight into the artist's creative process as he worked towards the final version of the painting.

The study depicts a scene from the ancient Greek myth of Jason and Medea, where Medea, a sorceress and princess of Colchis, assists Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, in his quest to obtain the Golden Fleece. Waterhouse's portrayal captures a moment of intense interaction between the two characters, often interpreted as Medea's enchantment of Jason, highlighting the complex relationship that would ultimately lead to tragedy.

As with many of Waterhouse's works, the study is characterized by its romanticism and attention to detail, with a focus on the figures' expressions and the drapery of their clothing. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his choice of color palette, contribute to the dramatic tension of the scene. Although studies like this were not typically intended for public display, they are now valued for their role in revealing the artist's technical skill and artistic vision.

"Study for Jason and Medea" is part of a larger body of Waterhouse's art that reflects his enduring interest in literary and mythological subjects. The study, along with the final painting, is considered an important contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement's legacy, demonstrating the enduring appeal of mythological narratives and the romantic aesthetic in Victorian art.
