The Magic Circle
John William Waterhouse (1849 – 1917)
John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), Pre-Raphaelite ve Viktorya dönemi resimlerinin büyüleyici ustasıdır. Ophelia, Lady of Shalott gibi ikonik eserleriyle mitoloji, Arthur efsaneleri ve romantik kadın figürlerini eşsiz bir güzellikle yansıtır.
The Magic Circle is an oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style, created in 1886 by John William Waterhouse. The painting depicts a witch or sorceress drawing a magic circle on the earth to create a ritual space. The Magic Circle was shown at the Royal Academy in 1886, and, after Consulting the Oracle and St. Eulalia, was Waterhouse's third exhibit with a supernatural theme in as many years. The painting was well-received at its exhibition, and was purchased for £650 the same year by the Tate Gallery, through the Chantrey Bequest.
