24" X 36" Oil Painting On Canvas Taken straight from literature, Waterhouse's painting Miranda - The Tempest 1916 tells the beginning of the Shakespeare's play The Tempest, where literary figure Miranda witnesses a shipwreck from her island of exile. True to his style, Waterhouse places his heroine in the forefront of his painting and drapes her in flowing fabric and bold color. Miranda watches as the storm wrecks the ship while the painting focuses on the violence of nature in the background. This haunting and beautiful scene will captivate all who gaze upon it wherever it may hang in your home.
