Waterhouse The Magic Circle Plaque Fotoplatte

John William Waterhouse the Magic Circle plaque. Oil painting on canvas from 1886. The Pre-Raphaelite painter John Waterhouse regularly drew from literary and mythological themes. The Magic Circle continues the artist’s fascination with the supernatural, depicting a sorceress with dark hair drawing a magic circle in the dirt with a wand. Wearing a blue dress decorated with Persian figures, she stands beside a cauldron smoking above the orange and red embers of a glowing fire. Black ravens stand nearby watching the ritual unfold. A great gift for fans of J.W. Waterhouse, the Pre-Raphaelites, magic, sorcery, and English Romantic painting.
