About the piece
Created in 1905, John William Waterhouse's 'Lamia' is a masterpiece of the late Pre-Raphaelite style, drawing inspiration from John Keats's poem about a serpent who transforms into a woman. The painting showcases Waterhouse’s brilliant command of light and texture, from the luminous glow of the woman’s skin to the cold, reflective surfaces of the knight's armor, creating a mood of profound narrative mystery.
