{"product_id":"juliet-john-william-waterhouse","title":"Juliet - John William Waterhouse","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 1898 oil painting by John William Waterhouse depicting a contemplative Juliet in a soft, atmospheric setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn William Waterhouse painted this depiction of Juliet in 1898. The work captures the Shakespearean heroine in a moment of quiet contemplation. Waterhouse, often associated with the later phase of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, frequently drew inspiration from classical literature and mythology. His approach here focuses on the psychological state of the subject rather than a specific narrative action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition places Juliet in profile against a backdrop of masonry and water, suggesting a Venetian setting. Her expression is reserved, and her gaze is directed away from the viewer. The artist employs a soft, muted colour palette, allowing the red sleeves of her gown to provide a visual anchor. The brushwork is controlled, reflecting the academic training that underpinned his style. The texture of the fabric and the subtle play of light on her features demonstrate his technical precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaterhouse was known for his interest in solitary female figures. This painting is characteristic of his output during the late Victorian period, where he explored themes of longing and isolation. The architectural elements in the background are rendered with a degree of abstraction, ensuring that the focus remains entirely on the figure. The blue beads held in her hand add a small, tactile detail to the composition, drawing the eye toward the centre of the frame. This piece remains a representative example of his interest in literary subjects and the portrayal of feminine grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/la-donna-della-finestra-dante-gabriel-rossetti\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Donna della Finestra by Dante Gabriel Rossetti\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-young-poet-arthur-hughes\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Young Poet by Arthur Hughes\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John William Waterhouse","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475911868751,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475913343311,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475913376079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475913408847,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475913441615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475913474383,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475913507151,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475913539919,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475913572687,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475913605455,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475913638223,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475913670991,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Juliet_Poster_CompositorV1_1794454300330.jpg?v=1794454402","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/juliet-john-william-waterhouse","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
