We have both appreciated the art and artists of the Pre-Raphaelite style for as long as we can remember. We love the art of John William Waterhouse inparticular. He had a long and illustrious career, exhibiting at the Royal Academy Summer exhibition every year from 1874-1916 with the exception of 2 years. We love his embrace of classicism, bold colors of nature and attention to detail, not to mention his complex and daring subject matter.
This piece was one of two pieces that Waterhouse painted which was inspired by the Robert Herrick poem "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time". It was completed in 1909.
