John Waterhouse
(1849-1917)
Waterhouse, John William
(1849-1917).
English painter.
Early in his career he painted Greek and Roman subjects, but in the
1880s he turned to literary themes, painted in a distinctive, dreamily
romantic style. In approach he was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites,
but his handling of paint is quite different from theirs rich and
sensuous. His work includes such classic Victorian anthology pieces as
The Lady of Shalott
(Tate Gallery, London, 1888) and
Hylas and the Nymphs
(City Art Gallery, Manchester, 1896).
