"And the soul of the rose went into my blood"

The Soul of The Rose d.1908 by John William Waterhouse.

📍Private Collection.

John William Waterhouse was an English painter who was known firstly as an Academic painter before embracing the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood art style. The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood was a group of English painters, poets and art critics, founded in 1848. Waterhouse, who wasn't born until a year later in 1849, would join the group later in life. The group sought a return to the great detail, intense colours and detailed compositions of Quattrocento Italian art, rejecting the Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. Hence the name Pre-Raphaelite. Much of his artwork is known for depictions of women from Greek mythology and Arthurian legend, as well as works from authors such as Homer, Shakespeare and Tennyson.

The title of the painting derives from the Tennyson poem 'Maud' but the painting is by no means an interpretation of the poem, merely the quote at the top of the post. The main focus is the female figure, Maud, who is in love with a man she cannot be with, leading to mental illness and death for both characters in the poem. Maud's adoration of the rose can be interpreted as her sparking a memory of her lover. This fits with the depicted role of women in this era as delicate creatures who lived in debt and admiration of their male counterparts. The painting draws together the senses of sight and smell, as our appreciation of the painting goes beyond our eyes, imagining the scent of a rose. The woman also touches the rose which arouses our sense of touch. Like most Waterhouse paintings. The background has very little importance, though it is an Italian style garden, which connects the painting to Italy, the birthplace of Waterhouse, which heavily influences the painting at hand. The use of high walls creates an atmosphere that the woman is trapped both physically and metaphorically.

- 9 is a restrictive number (and if I didn't put a 'show results' option many people would vote randomly). Choices were made.

The Soul of the Rose by John William Waterhouse (1908)

“And the soul of the rose went into my blood, as the music clash’d in the hall; and long by the garden lake I stood, for I heard your rivulet fall.”

- Alfred Lord Tennyson, “Maud”

THE SOUL OF THE ROSE (1908) by JOHN WILLIAM WATERHOUSE.

The central figure in the painting is a woman. She is seen from the side and is holding a pink rose that is growing against the wall. She is holding the rose close to her nose and resting her left hand against the wall.

The woman is wearing a bluish loose-fitting robe or dress that looks silky soft and has gold embroidery on it. The robe flows gracefully down her body. Her reddish brown hair is tied in a bun behind her neck and head. If her hair was loose, we would have thought she had long hair. She is wearing a pair of pearls or beads in her hair.

She is feminine, beautiful, and sensuous, lost in her scent of the rose, completely unaware of her surroundings. Her eyes seem to be closed, her head slightly slanted upwards as she cradles the rose against her nose. Her red lips, if we take a closer look, are almost indistinguishable from the rose against her mouth.

If we look around, we can see that the woman is standing in some kind of courtyard. Behind her is a small plant pot at the bottom right of the composition and what looks like a small window just above her. The rest of the structure is out of view. She may be standing in a closed garden.

The wall she is leaning against is closer to the front of the painting, and it appears to be holding her back from the wall behind her. Against this wall we see a rose bush with a few pink rosebuds. In the background we see an Italian villa, the upper part of it and the red tiled roof beyond the high wall.
