EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, John William Waterhouse beautifully captures the essence of femininity and romance in "The Soul of the Rose". Painted in 1908, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 91.4x61 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Waterhouse's attention to detail is evident as he depicts a young woman delicately holding a rose close to her heart. The vibrant colors and intricate brushwork bring life to both the subject and the flower she adorns. As she leans forward, her eyes closed, it becomes apparent that she is not merely observing the rose but rather inhaling its intoxicating scent. The artist's choice of title for this piece adds an additional layer of meaning. Originally mis-titled "My Sweet Rose" it was later corrected to "The Soul of the Rose". This adjustment emphasizes how deeply connected humans can be with nature, particularly through our sense of smell. It suggests that within every delicate petal lies something profound - perhaps even a reflection or embodiment of one's own soul. "The Soul of the Rose" belongs to Waterhouse's signature style known as Pre-Raphaelite art, characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and romantic themes inspired by literature and mythology. This exquisite print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Waterhouse's talent for capturing beauty while immersing ourselves in his world where scents become emotions and flowers hold secrets waiting to be discovered.
