John William Waterhouse was a painter that pulled his work from a variety of written work, bringing stories to life with beautiful colors and details. This painter mainly depicted women from Arthurian legend and Greek mythology in the iconic Pre-Raphaelite style, but also chose subjects from William Shakespeare. The women in his works are complex and intriguing, with flowing garments, mysterious facial expressions and graceful movements. His masterful technique allows us to view these characters in a much more intimate way than the playwright could have imagined. Here are some of our favorites at overstockArt.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/ophelia&amp;option_id=5994\"><strong>Ophelia-1894<\/strong><\/a>: <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12173 \" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ophelia-1894.jpgHD_-176x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"99\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ophelia-1894.jpgHD_-176x300.jpg 176w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ophelia-1894.jpgHD_-600x1024.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ophelia-1894.jpgHD_-560x956.jpg 560w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ophelia-1894.jpgHD_.jpg 703w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 99px) 100vw, 99px\" \/>This painting depicts the tragic character of Ophelia from Shakespeare\u2019s <em>Othello<\/em>. The play involved murder and betrayal, as well as this character\u2019s own death by drowning. It shows the young woman sitting near the edge of a beautiful pond filled with flowers. Her expression is serene and doesn\u2019t reflect the inner turmoil we know the actual character experienced. It would be easy to imagine that this was a moment captured just before she chose to drown in the water. This image brings the audience into the story created by the play.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/waterhouse-cleopatra-1888&amp;option_id=9227\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12174\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/126139-cleopatra-john-william-waterhouse.jpgHalfHD-258x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"146\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/126139-cleopatra-john-william-waterhouse.jpgHalfHD-258x300.jpg 258w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/126139-cleopatra-john-william-waterhouse.jpgHalfHD-560x652.jpg 560w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/126139-cleopatra-john-william-waterhouse.jpgHalfHD.jpg 687w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px\" \/>Cleopatra-1888<\/strong><\/a>: Cleopatra was one of the two key characters in Shakespeare\u2019s <em>Anthony and Cleopatra<\/em>. She is the Queen of Egypt who manipulates the emissary sent by Rome. \u00a0In this painting she is shown sitting at her throne, draped in white with accents of gold. Her expression is one of power and determination. This is a sharp contrast to most of the delicate female subjects the painter chose, but it matches with the character as she is written by Shakespeare.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.overstockart.com\/painting\/miranda-the-tempest&amp;option_id=5993\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12175\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Miranda_-_The_Tempest_JWW-300x216.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Miranda_-_The_Tempest_JWW-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Miranda_-_The_Tempest_JWW-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Miranda_-_The_Tempest_JWW.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Miranda_-_The_Tempest_JWW-560x403.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 168px) 100vw, 168px\" \/>Miranda- The Tempest- 1916<\/strong><\/a>: the <em>Tempest<\/em> is one of Shakespeare\u2019s lesser known plays, but offers a female character worthy of a grand depiction. The character of Miranda is in turmoil for most of the story, with the storm outside matching the storm within herself. Waterhouse gives us a scene where the woman and landscape are given equal space on the canvas. It truly shows the audience the struggle between the two that Shakespeare\u2019s words evoked.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12176\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2048px-John_William_Waterhouse_-_Juliet-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"112\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2048px-John_William_Waterhouse_-_Juliet-198x300.jpg 198w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2048px-John_William_Waterhouse_-_Juliet-768x1161.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2048px-John_William_Waterhouse_-_Juliet-677x1024.jpg 677w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2048px-John_William_Waterhouse_-_Juliet-560x847.jpg 560w, https:\/\/cdn.overstockart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/2048px-John_William_Waterhouse_-_Juliet.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 112px) 100vw, 112px\" \/>Juliet- 1898<\/strong>: Perhaps one of the most famous tragic love stories is the tale of <em>Romeo and Juliet<\/em>. This is the story of star-crossed lovers who are both young and innocent. The way Waterhouse depicts sweet Juliet emphasizes that youth by showing how tender a young girl could be.\u00a0 In both her expression and her body language, it is clear that Juliet is not yet a woman, ready to make big decisions. If one knows the story in the play, then Waterhouse helps the audience feel overwhelming sympathy for the girl\u2019s tragic fate.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between John William Waterhouse\u2019s painting and William Shakespeare\u2019s plays are beneficial for both artists. It allows them to provide viewers with something visually appealing but with a story they are familiar with. If you hang one of these, or one of the many other pieces Waterhouse created from literary inspiration, you will offer your guests a piece that sparks conversations.
