Title: Jason and Medea
Description: Jason and Medea is an oil painting in the Pre-Raphaelite style created by John William Waterhouse in 1907. The painting depicts the Colchian princess, Medea, preparing a magic potion for Jason to enable him to complete the tasks set for him by her father, Aeëtes. Medea's determined facial expression shows a characterization consistent with that of Greek literature, particularly Euripides' tragedy Medea (play). The painting is thematically and visually similar to The Magic Circle (Waterhouse painting).
