Boreas by John William Waterhouse
I love the Pre-Raphaelites and Waterhouse is by far my favourite. Boreas is one of my favourites, although it is really hard to pick just one.
The thing that I love about the Pre-Raphaelites is that their paintings tell stories, some we know and some we don't. Boreas, being the Greek god of the Northern wind, simply captures a windblown woman.
I've always been drawn to the colors, but I also love the movement of the fabric. As with every Waterhouse painting there is also the backdrop. I have a deep love of his distant periwinkle mountain tops.
I recently came across this photo, which instantly made me think of Boreas.
