"Consulting the Oracle" marked the end of an era for J W Waterhouse
"Consulting the Oracle" marked the end of an era for John William Waterhouse and contains pointers to his movement into his most well known period depicting scenes from Greek Mythology and the works of the Romantic Poets. Central to these works were his beautiful young models and his accomplishment in the depiction of flesh. The title "Consulting the Oracle" itself points to the future and significantly, for the first time, the most prominent figure in the forefront of the painting, the strikingly beautiful girl in the brightest coloured robe, is depicted bare-breasted. Are these merely coincidences, or is Waterhouse telling us something?--Sonnysomers (talk) 14:05, 2 February 2014 (UTC
