John William Waterhouse

**John William Waterhouse**, nado o 6 de abril de 1849 en Roma e finado o 10 de febreiro de 1917 en Londres, foi un pintor británico de estio Pre-Rafaelita. A súa obra é varias décadas posterior ao fin da Irmandade Pre-Rafaelita, que tivo o seu apoxeo a mediados do século XIX, polo que recibiu o sobrenome de "o Pre-Rafaelita moderno". Influenciado tamén por outros artistas impresionistas contemporáneos, a súa obra é coñecida pola súa representación de mulleres da mitoloxía grega e das lendas artúricas.

Nado en Italia, os seus pais eran ámbolos dous pintores ingleses. Trasladouse posteriormente a Londres, asistindo á Royal Academy of Art. Ó pouco tempo comezou a expoñer obras nas exhibicións anuais de verán, centrándose en crear grandes cadros con escenas da vida diaria e da mitoloxía da Grecia antiga. Máis tarde adoptou o estilo Pre-Rafaelita de pintura malia o feito de que xa pasara de moda na escena artística de Gran Bretaña.

Aínda sen ser tan coñecido como outros artistas Pre-Rafaelitas como Dante Gabriel Rossetti, John Everett Millais ou William Holman Hunt, a obra de Waterhouse atópase exposta en varias das principais galerías de arte británicas, e a Royal Academy of Art organizou unha retrospectiva da súa obra no ano 2009.
