Mariamne. Fine hand-coloured etching by James Dobie after the celebrated painting by John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), published in the Magazine of Art, 1888.
Mariamne was the Hasmonean princess and second wife of Herod the Great, King of Judea. Her tragic story - condemned and executed by her jealous husband despite his enduring love for her - has long fascinated artists and writers, becoming a byword for innocent beauty destroyed by tyrannical power.
Waterhouse, one of the last great exponents of the Pre-Raphaelite and Classical Revival tradition, was renowned for his depictions of mythological and historical women rendered with romantic, atmospheric intensity. This etching, skilfully translated to print by engraver James Dobie, captures the pathos and grandeur of Waterhouse's original composition.
Size: 21.5 x 30.4 cms.
