Miranda--The Tempest, 1916 by John William Waterhouse (English, 1849–1917). J. W. Waterhouse, R.A., was a master of narrative painting; whether drawn from history, myth, or literature, his works display an unerring feeling for the dramatic moment as well as a keen sense of composition and superb technique. Add to those qualities the haunting beauty of his female subjects and you have the apotheosis of great Victorian art. Miranda--The Tempest depicts the beginning of Shakespeare’s Tempest, when the magician Prospero’s daughter witnesses a shipwreck from her island of exile: O I have suffer’d/With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel,/Who had, no doubt, some noble creature in her,/ Dash’d all to pieces! . . .
