John William Waterhouse

John William Waterhouse (6 April 1849 — 10 February 1917) was an English Pre-Raphaelite painter famous for his paintings of female characters from Greek and Arthurian mythology.Waterhouse was one of the final Pre-Raphaelite artists, productive in the latter decades of the 19th century, 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.
