John William Waterhouse

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! John William Waterhouse (6 April 1849 10 February 1917) was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter who is most famous for his paintings of female characters from Greek and Arthurian mythology. Waterhouse was one of the final Pre Raphaelite artists, being most productive in the latter decades of the 19th century and early decades of the 20th, long after the era of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Because of this, he has been referred to as "the modern Pre-Raphaelite," and incorporated techniques borrowed from the French Impressionists into his work.
