"The Awakening of Adonis" is an oil painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1900. This artwork is part of Waterhouse's extensive oeuvre, which is characterized by its depictions of female figures from mythology and literature, rendered in a style influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood's ideals and the classical world.

The painting illustrates a scene from ancient Greek mythology, capturing the moment of Adonis's awakening. According to the myth, Adonis was a beautiful youth loved by the goddess Aphrodite. He was required to spend part of each year in the underworld because he was also loved by Persephone, the queen of the underworld. The moment Waterhouse chooses to depict is one of sensuality and anticipation, as Adonis is roused from sleep, presumably by the divine touch of Aphrodite, who is often associated with love, beauty, and desire.

Measuring 79 x 138.5 cm, the artwork is a testament to Waterhouse's mastery of color and composition. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the rendering of textures and nature, contribute to the lifelike quality of the scene. The figure of Adonis is portrayed with an idealized beauty that is typical of Waterhouse's male subjects, while the surrounding landscape is imbued with a dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the mythological theme.

"The Awakening of Adonis" is held in a private collection and, as such, is not as widely known or accessible as some of Waterhouse's other works. Nevertheless, it remains a significant example of the artist's late style and his enduring fascination with classical mythology. The painting is a reflection of the late Victorian era's romanticized view of the ancient world and continues to be of interest to scholars and admirers of Waterhouse's art.
