Original Description
John William Waterhouse’s Circe Invidiosa (1892) is a mesmerizing depiction of the sorceress Circe from Greek mythology, exuding an aura of enchantment and malevolence. The painting captures the moment she poisons the sea to transform her rival Scylla into a monstrous creature, rendered with Waterhouse’s signature Pre-Raphaelite detail and Romantic sensibility. Rich jewel tones—emerald greens, deep blues, and shimmering golds—create a sense of eerie enchantment, while Circe’s intense gaze and fluid drapery heighten the drama. A master of mythological storytelling, Waterhouse blends realism with fantasy, positioning this work among his most iconic. Circe Invidiosa exemplifies late 19th-century Symbolism, bridging Pre-Raphaelite intricacy and the burgeoning Art Nouveau movement, making it a cornerstone of Victorian art.
For interiors, Circe Invidiosa lends a bold, dramatic statement. Its dark, moody palette suits libraries, studies, or offices with vintage or Gothic Revival décor, pairing well with mahogany furniture and gold accents. Frame it in an ornate gilt frame to enhance its Pre-Raphaelite grandeur, or opt for a minimalist black frame for contemporary contrast. Ideal for a focal wall, its vertical composition (179.5 × 85.5 cm) fits elegantly above a console table or fireplace. Complement the painting with emerald or teal textiles and ambient lighting to echo its jewel tones. In a modern space, balance its intensity with neutral walls and minimalist furnishings for a sophisticated juxtaposition. A striking choice for art lovers seeking mythological depth and timeless elegance.
