9、约翰•威廉姆•沃特豪斯(John William Waterhouse, British, 1849-1917)
沃特豪斯被认为成拉斐尔前派画家,但事实上并非如此。沃特豪斯早期受阿尔玛—达德玛和弗拉德里克•列顿影响,因此偏向于新古典主义,后来受伯恩—琼斯,但丁•罗塞蒂等人影响,便倾向于拉斐尔前派主义。
沃特豪斯的作品多以神话,历史故事,文学作品为题材,画风清新自然,带有神秘色彩,但比拉斐尔前派的画家的作品更有世俗性。
Lamia 雷米尔
传说中雷米尔是女妖,她化作漂亮女子诱惑男子然后吃掉。
本图根据John Keat的诗Lamia写成
She was a gordian shape of dazzling hue,
Vermilion-spotted, golden, green, and blue;
Striped like a zebra, freckled like a pard,
Eyed like a peacock, and all crimson barr'd;
And full of silver moons, that, as she breathed,
Dissolv'd, or brighter shone, or interwreathed
Their lustres with the gloomier tapestries--
So rainbow-sided, touch'd with miseries,
She seem'd, at once, some penanced lady elf,
Some demon's mistress, or the demon's self.
