This custom fine art tile features a high-resolution, stunningly colorful reproduction of The Danaides by John William Waterhouse, oil on canvas, 1903. This classic Pre-Raphaelite painting depicts a procession of women carrying and pouring large urns of water into a basin from which water pours from the bottom. Waterhouse paints the scene with a near classical sense of low relief under a patina of deep, rich color, particularly the deep ultramarine blue robes. The Danaides in classical mythology were the daughters of Danaus who were forced to marry the sons of Aegyptus, a mythical king of Egypt. The daughters rebelled, and as punishment, the gods condemned them to the underworld of Tartarus, where they eternally pour water into a perforated basin, a classical symbol of futility. The Waterhouse tile is a distinctive addition to the home decor of any art lover or fan of Pre-Raphaelite painting.
