Circe, 1865
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph captured by the talented Julia Margaret Cameron. In this mesmerizing image, we see a young child named Kate Keown adorned with grapes and leaves encircling her head. The subject's direct gaze into the camera lens adds an air of mystery to the composition. Cameron draws inspiration from ancient Greek mythology, as she portrays Circe, an enchantress from Homer's Odyssey. The artist inscribed a quote from John Milton on the mount of this photograph: "Who knows not Circe, daughter of the Sun". This reference further enhances the mythical ambiance surrounding the image. The soft focus technique employed by Cameron creates a dreamlike quality that transports viewers back to 19th century England. Through her lens, she captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions and invites contemplation about themes such as religion and literature. With her artistic style rooted in Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics, Cameron skillfully combines elements of nature – represented by grapes and leaves – with human subjects to create visually striking compositions. Her mastery of light and shadow brings depth to every detail within this vintage masterpiece. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), "Circe" stands as a testament to Julia Margaret Cameron's contribution to photography during the Victorian era. It serves as both an exploration into classical mythology and an appreciation for artistry that transcends time boundaries.
