John Waterhouse Boreas 1903 Windblown Woman Grey Cloak Pre Raphaelite Poster
A young woman clutches her billowing grey cloak against the north wind in a blossoming meadow. Waterhouse’s Boreas (1903), hauntingly beautiful.
Description
Boreas (1903) personifies the north wind's chill: a girl wraps her grey mantle tight, hair streaming, blossoms trembling around her. Waterhouse's Pre-Raphaelite glow and melancholy mood make this one of his most atmospheric works. Romantic and dramatic.
