Biography: John William Waterhouse was born in 1849 in Rome, Italy, to British parents who were both painters themselves. His family moved to South Kensington when he was 5. He died at the age of 67 in 1917. Initially, he studied painting under his father, William Waterhouse. He entered the Royal Academy of Art schools in 1870. He exhibited paintings in the Royal Academy's exhibitions from 1874 until his death in 1917. Waterhouse's earlier works feature classical or mythological subjects that were typical of the academic painting of his time. His mature works often feature literary subjects of a romantic character from Shakespeare, the Arthurian Legends, etc., which became typical of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood group of artists. Other important Pre-Raphaelite artists include Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais, Frederick Leighton, and Frank Dicksee. Check out our
