Beginning first as a painter in the neoclassical style and attempting to produce true-to-life reproductions of the ancient world through close attention to archaeological artifacts, Waterhouse began to portray the classical past through the lens of the everyday. By the end of the century, Waterhouse had established a fervent interest in magic and the occult, especially in the guise of femme fatales, a recurring theme throughout her life. Having gradually eschewed his taste for narrative paintings towards the end of the century, Waterhouse began to focus predominantly on female figurative subjects, culminating in canvases as majestic as Pandora.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWaterhouse chooses to depict the figure as a being of unbearable curiosity as he gazes into the sacred vessel given to him, myth says, by the god Zeus to hold the blessings of the gods.

The four figures are arranged in a harmonious pattern: notice how the two outer figures are standing, their postures mirroring each other, while the two inner figures are both crouched with their knees bent. The artist has deliberately painted this symmetrical arrangement not only to create a visually pleasing composition, but also to suggest something else about the scene we are looking at. Like classical architecture, the symmetry of the parts is supposed to offer the viewer a heightened sense of order and harmony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e And so we have come to understand something about the installation of the painting: a place called Arcadia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArcadia was an area in the central Peloponnese region of ancient Greece, a largely mountainous region, with rugged peaks and deep gorges. In ancient Greek mythology, Arcadia was the residence of Pan, the god of nature and of shepherds and flocks. The setting of rugged mountains was thought to inspire rustic music and impromptu dances in the company of the nymphs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The idea of ​​Arcadia has given rise to the pastoral notion of a simple life and is reflected in the fact that Arcadia came to represent paradise in Roman poetry and then later in Renaissance literature. Think of it as the golden age of a more peaceful way of life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In particular, we have the Roman poets Ovid and Virgil to thank for transforming the harsh reality of Arcadia into a softer, even utopian place of salvation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVirgil in particular, in his Eclogues, idealized the setting by inventing the image of lush greenery, \"of cool springs, mead and grove\" where lovers can live in pleasant bliss, untouched by the violence of the real world. It is a place where shepherds roam singing love songs and untamed nymphs roam the forests and rivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The inscription Et in Arcadia ego, \"I too once lived in Arcadia\", could also be understood in the present tense, the poignant message that even in the idyllic setting of Arcadia, the present moment will inevitably pass and death will come to us all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn art historian who examined in detail the possible meaning of the inscription was Erwin Panofsky. Panofsky reminds us that for Renaissance artists and poets, Arcadia was an object of nostalgia. It was not only a distant place, but, fundamentally, a distant time. \"It is a hopelessly lost kingdom, seen through a veil of haunting melancholy,\" Panofsky wrote.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e On this reading, Poussin's painting is seen less as a dramatic revelation of the presence of death even in utopia, but as a more thoughtful contemplation of a blissful past. It combines the tradition of the memento mori—the symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death—with a more nostalgic sense of the very loss of an ideal. “I also lived in Arcadia where you now live; I also enjoyed the pleasures you now enjoy. And now I'm dead and gone.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePoussin incorporated deliberate errors in the painting, in the use of shadows. The second shepherd's right hand points to the shadow of his hand touching the shadow of his head, which is unreal. To accomplish this, your finger must physically touch your head. The hand in the position shown should cast a shadow that nearly \"touches\" the third shepherd's knee. Shadows are impossible in that context. Standing on the Pontils bridge, looking across the ravine towards the old tomb, one is looking south. Even in Pousin's day, shadows did not fall on the north face of the tomb.

Time here is personified in Chronos (Father Time wielding a scythe) which finds mention in pre-Socratic philosophy.

See, the thing is, Pierre Mignard was a rival to Charles Le Brun, which was perhaps not the smartest move due to the fact that Le Brun was essentially the dictator of all artistic affairs in France at the time. He was in charge of all the royal commissions, as well as the French Academy of Art. Pierre, bold French revolutionary that he was, was the main organizer of the opposition to Le Brun's authority. However, this meant that most of his artistic projects were relegated to portraits and religious paintings, a good example being the Portrait of Louise de Kerouaille.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Then Le Brun died. Subsequently, Pierre acquired all the positions of Le Brunn. But unfortunately this was late in Pierre's career, and due to the smaller-scale nature of most of his works, he was not prepared to handle the larger projects that came with royal commissions.

Although the painting portrays Mars, the Roman god of war, marching from the Temple of Janus urged on by Alecto, the fury of war, and held back by Venus, depicted in typical voluptuous Rubenesque fashion, Rubens is believed to have employed the allegory of Roman mythology. as a political commentary on the Thirty Years' War, which at the time had raged across Europe for two decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the painting you see Mars, the god of war, presented with a choice. Should he continue his march to war, or should he show mercy and withdraw? Figures representing the different qualities of war and peace surround him, encouraging him to follow their example. Alecto, one of the three goddesses of revenge (known as the Furies), pushes him forward, while Venus, the goddess of love, tries to hold him back.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the left, a woman symbolizing Europe raises her arms in anguish at the prospect of war.
