The Soul of a Rose....

Print size... 16" x 24"

Originally painted in 1903, oil on canvas

By John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)

JW Waterhouse is one of my most favorite artists. His painting style, subject matter, attention to the smallest details even in the background, the colors, the depth...I love it all. Look at the close up of her hand. The way it bends so gracefully, the pinkness of the skin on her knuckles...it's just so absolutely perfect. 

He was born in Rome in 1849 to English artist parents.  Very little is known of Waterhouse's private life - only a few letters have survived so for many years, the identity of his models has been a mystery. One letter that has survived indicates that Mary Lloyd, the model for Lord Leighton's masterpiece Flaming June (which I also sell prints of!) posed for Waterhouse. One of his final works was The Enchanted Garden, left unfinished on his easel at his death, and now in the collection of the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Liverpool. He died of cancer in 1917 at 67 years old in England. That last picture is the man, himself. Quite a dapper fellow, no?

This currently resides in a private collection in LA.

♦ All wall art is printed on a durable canvas that mimics an actual painting.  Being canvas, has texture. It doesn't buckle, tear or crease like paper posters. I can't tell you how many I've had that get torn and bent and ripped. Ive had paper prints that ripple with humidity, even after framing. Canvas just won't do that. They also won't fade and the colors are so beautiful and true and the details are impeccable. You can actually see the brushstrokes and the crazing of the paint. And they're so much easier to frame! Or just hang them as they are.

♦ These are shipped rolled in a protective tube. 

♦ Shipping deal is for 2 or more prints. Pay to ship the first one, all others in the same order, ride for free!

♦ I'm sure you all know this but I have to actually put it on here...These are PRINTS. Not actual paintings. 

♦ This is for the print only, No frame is included

♦ I believe everyone should have art in their home, no matter what the form. I'm trying to keep these prices low for just that reason. This does NOT reflect on their quality. I just really want people to be able to afford these and enjoy them...and who doesn't want a copy of a $4 million dollar painting for $16?

♦ As of now, I have a somewhat limited stock. As they sell and as I see what people like, I will stock more and more sizes. I am trying to vary them (not just what I like) so check back often!
