With their compelling composition  glowing color and Impressionist-inflected technique  these paintings are admired for their beauty  yet at the same time they have the power to transport the viewer into a romantic world of myth and legend. Waterhouse s depictions of female beauty reflect his age s complex and ambivalent attitudes towards women  in which Victorian ideals of sentiment and duty commingled with less noble undercurrents of erotic desire and misogyny. Aubrey Noakes sets out to discover the forgotten artist behind so much good work familiar to most of us now  chiefly in reproductions and in visits to provincial galleries  and he succeeds in this provocative and lively study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946733858869,"sku":"ByrdShop_1904449395","price":174.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781904449393.jpg?v=1769963902","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/waterhouse-chaucer-library-of-art","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
