Boreas, North Wind Maiden Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Medium

By artist John William Waterhouse, (1849-1917), in a Private Collection

Called "Boreas" after the north wind in Greek mythology, this turn of-the century genre work depicts a young maiden girl in swirling draperies of slate blue, amidst a spring landscape of pink blossoms and daffodils. Since British Pre-Raphaelite artist Waterhouse's later works were portraits, particularly tragic or powerful femme fatales, he may have intended to evoke that sense of power with this mesmerizing work. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
