John William Waterhouse (1849 – 1917)
John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), Pre-Raphaelite ve Viktorya dönemi resimlerinin büyüleyici ustasıdır. Ophelia, Lady of Shalott gibi ikonik eserleriyle mitoloji, Arthur efsaneleri ve romantik kadın figürlerini eşsiz bir güzellikle yansıtır.
Lamia is an oil painting by the English Pre-Raphaelite painter John William Waterhouse. In classical mythology, Lamia was a female daemon who devoured children. According to late myths she was a queen of Libya who was beloved by Zeus. When Hera robbed her of her children from this union, Lamia killed every child she could get into her power. She was also known as a fiend who, in the form of a beautiful woman, seduced young men in order to devour them. It was this latter incarnation of Lamia as a beautiful woman that inspired John Keats to write his poem Lamia, published in 1820. Waterhouse bases his portrayal of Lamia upon Keats' poem.
