Boreas | John William Waterhouse | 1903 15th Century a poignant moment of mourningA young woman braces herself against a cold, rising wind, her cloak drawn tightly as it lifts and twists around her. The landscape is unsettledtrees lean, blossoms are caught mid air, and the sky carries a stormy, muted weight. The scene is quiet but uneasy, shaped by the presence of Boreas, the north wind, whose force is felt in the figures guarded posture and the bleak, shifting atmosphere around her.
