The Soul of the Rose (1908) | John William Waterhouse | Painting Art Print | Wall Frame

The Soul of the Rose, also known as My Sweet Rose, was painted in 1908 by John William Waterhouse (1849 - 1917).

The Soul of the Rose is not a scene taken from a famous or ancient tale of love. Instead it is a study of a woman in a garden thought to be based on the work of Alfred Lord Tennyson. Waterhouse often incorporated a great sense of sensuality in his women, whether in the form of naked flesh or simply a delicate look. Restrained sexuality and longing for an invisible love are key themes in The Soul of the Rose and the artist portrays the woman in the picture without any obvious sexuality, but her position against the wall and her delicate hand indicate subtle sensuality.
