The Magic Circle. Ophelia. A Mermaid. Movement. Pre-Raphaelite. Spouse. Esther Kenworthy Waterhouse. John William Waterhouse RA (6 April 1849 – 10 February 1917) was an English painter known for working first in the Academic style and for then embracing the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood 's style and subject matter.
The poem talks of a Mermaid combing her hair, and this is the depiction chosen by the artist here. The very theme of a mermaid is ideally suited to his preference for depicting the feminine and classic beauty of women alongside themes of mythology and poetry.
This painting was Waterhouse's diploma work for the Royal Academy. A mermaid or mermaiden (masculine Merman) was a fabled marine creature with the head and upper body of a human being and the tail of a fish. Similar divine or semidivine beings appear in ancient mythologies (e.g., the Chaldean sea god Ea, or Oannes).
