Title: Feast Your Eyes and Soul on This Print
Product review: THE SOUL OF THE ROSE (painted 1908) is one of the most beautiful paintings by John William Waterhouse, the English Pre-Raphaelite inheritor who specialized in beauty. The very sight of this painting conjures up the scent of a rose garden on a warm spring day. Look and let your eyes delight in the fresh and vivid colors of the picture: the deep turquoise of the lady's medieval gown, the blush and strawberry pink of the roses, the green of the leaves, the shining silver of the beads in the lady's auburn hair. Notice too how masterfully Waterhouse has rendered her hands, with their exceptionally long and slender fingers; one rests, slightly tense, on the wall, while the other curves gracefully around the stem of a plump rose. Reproduced here in a large standard size, THE SOUL OF THE ROSE is an essential print to decorate the homes of Waterhouse admirers and/or rose-lovers.
