The Beautiful Art of John William Waterhouse

Born in Italy to English parents, both of whom were painters, John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) is best known for his classical style of art. His early works predominantly focused on traditional themes in the spirit of Alma-Tadema (a Dutch painter), and Frederic Leighton (an English painter and sculptor). Later works reveal Waterhouse's growing interest in themes associated with the Pre-Raphaelites - a group of English painters, poets, and critics who rejected the classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael, in particular.
