J. W. Waterhouse

J W Waterhouse is an accessible introduction to British artist John William Waterhouse (1849-1917), a master of Romantic classicism.

Waterhouse gave us some of the most archetypal Victorian images with his softly tragic paintings of Ophelia, the Lady of Shalott, and Pandora. Author Anthony Hobson, himself a painter, presents an artist's perspective and appreciation of Waterhouse's life and work.
