Waterhouse Tristan and Isolde Postcard
John William Waterhouse Tristan and Isolde postcard. Oil painting on canvas from 1916. English painter John Waterhouse regularly drew on literary themes. Tristan and Isolde is one of his last paintings and reveals the artist utilizing bright colors and hard outlines. The Irish princess Isolde stands on the deck of a ship holding a potion in a flowing red dress with fur trim. The girl also wears a green shawl with gold embroidery as her veil blows in the wind. The hero Tristan stands in full armor as he takes the golden chalice from the girl. Both characters stand on a ship at sea, and a small castle can be seen in the background. A great gift for fans of J.W Waterhouse, the Pre-Raphaelites, English Romantic painting, and Northern myth.
