Windswept (Windswept / Windflowers)
1902
An English painter deeply influenced by the spirit of the Pre-Raphaelite Brother…
A young woman stands, leaning into the gale, her hair and clothes violently whipped by a strong, gusting wind.
She tightly clasps to her chest a delicate bunch of flowers (anemones) that are on the verge of being blown away.
Waterhouse built his reputation by depicting heroines from myth and literature caught in tragic fates, but in fact, this painting has no specific narrative background.
