Boreas (1903)
by John William Waterhouse (England, 1849-1917)

“Boreas” by John William Waterhouse is a captivating oil on canvas painting that was created in 1903. It is named after the Greek god of the north wind and features a young girl being swept by a strong wind, her draperies in slate and blue hues billowing around her. The painting is set against a spring landscape, adorned with pink blossoms and yellow daffodils, which adds to the theme of femininity and nature that is prevalent in Waterhouse’s work.

Waterhouse’s use of symbolism is evident in “Boreas”. The swirling clouds in the background represent the chaos and unpredictability of the winds, while the girl’s poised yet dynamic stance suggests resilience in the face of nature’s forces.
