Destiny John William Waterhouse Postcard

This custom fine art postcard features a high-resolution, dazzlingly colourful reproduction of Destiny by John William Waterhouse, oil on canvas, 1900. The vintage Pre-Raphaelite painting depicts the figure of fate from ancient mythology as a young woman in red dress holding a blue bowl. Set in a fairy tale castle overlooking the sea, the subject stands amid a circular mirror reflecting ships sailing to sea, a globe, and a book. The wheel-like mirror, ships rudders, and bowl of Cornucopia are all traditional symbols of the goddess of Fate, also called Tyche or Fortuna, who Waterhouse renders with a sense of modern, painterly realism. Destiny is a famous masterpiece of the Pre-Raphaelite art movement, and this unique postcard is a distinctive gift for any art lover.
