"The Soul of the Rose" is an oil painting by British artist John William Waterhouse, completed in 1908. This work is often celebrated for its romantic style and is considered a prime example of the Pre-Raphaelite influence on Waterhouse’s art, despite being created long after the dissolution of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The painting depicts a young woman in a garden, deeply inhaling the scent of a blooming rose, which symbolizes an immersion into sensory experience and possibly, a deeper, spiritual ecstasy.

Waterhouse's use of rich, vibrant colors and his focus on female beauty and nature draw from the Pre-Raphaelite tradition, emphasizing an aesthetic of naturalism mingled with a sense of mysticism and melancholy. "The Soul of the Rose" is often interpreted as an exploration of themes such as desire, beauty, and the transient nature of life, which are recurrent in Waterhouse’s body of work. The artwork's title might have been inspired by Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem "Maud," in which the protagonist describes his sensory experience and emotional response to his environment, resonating with the intimate and introspective portrayal in Waterhouse’s painting.

This painting is not only a testament to Waterhouse's mastery of color and form but also reflects the broader artistic and cultural preoccupations of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, particularly with respect to the intersections of beauty, art, and emotion. "The Soul of the Rose" continues to be admired for its aesthetic beauty and its evocative, poignant take on human experience, securing its place as a significant work in the canon of British art.
