Waterhouse, John William. Saint Eulalia. 1885. Oil on canvas. 188.6 cm x 117.5 cm. Tate Britain, London. Another painting from Waterhouse, This piece inspires me because of the impressive use of foreshortening and angles as well as the contrast in colors between the woman’s skin and the white of the snow as well as the many different angles and positions of the birds. To me, it seems like there is a clash of old and new represented with this art. The woman seems out of place in the time period for some reason, not to mention foreshortening did not show up during the time period that this is seemingly set. -- source link
