"The Love Philtre" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1914. This artwork is a testament to Waterhouse's fascination with themes of love, mythology, and the occult, which permeate much of his oeuvre. The painting depicts a moment of intimate exchange between two figures, presumably a woman offering a love potion to a man, which is suggested by the title's reference to a 'philtre,' an archaic term for a magical drink intended to induce feelings of love or desire.

Waterhouse's work is characterized by its romantic and often dreamlike quality, with "The Love Philtre" being no exception. The artist's adept use of color and light, along with his meticulous attention to detail, contribute to the enchanting atmosphere of the scene. The figures are rendered with a softness and sensitivity that was typical of Waterhouse's style, and the setting often includes elements of nature, which serve as a backdrop that complements the narrative.

As with many of Waterhouse's paintings, "The Love Philtre" draws upon literary or mythological sources for inspiration, though the specific story or characters depicted are not always identified. This ambiguity allows viewers to project their own interpretations onto the work, making it a subject of ongoing interest and speculation among art historians and enthusiasts.

"The Love Philtre" is part of Waterhouse's later body of work, created during a period when the artist was well-established and highly regarded in the art world. His paintings from this era continue to be celebrated for their evocative portrayal of mythological and literary themes, and "The Love Philtre" is a prime example of his enduring legacy as a master of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
