1817-1904 England
George Frederic Watts (1817–1904) was an English painter and sculptor who was a driving force in the transition from Victorian romanticism to Symbolism. Early in his career, he was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites, including his friend Dante Gabriel Rossetti, adopting their detailed and refined realism. Over time, Watts moved toward more symbolic and mystical imagery, focusing on themes of life and mortality. His later works show the influence of Venetian masters like Titian, with a softer, more atmospheric style.

Watts shows the biblical narrative creation of woman as a moment of transformation. Emerging from swirling light and clouds, she is surrounded by flowers and birds, symbols of life and growth. The painting focuses on her connection to nature and the act of creation itself.
In line with Watts’s goal of “poetry painted on canvas”, this work recall a sense of wonder and mystery in a powerful yet unembellished scene.
