Waterhouse (1849-1917)
John William Waterhouse
(1849-1917), affectionately known as Nino in his younger
days, was born in Rome on the 6th of April, 1849. Both
of his parents were English painters who moved to Italy
in pursuit of art. Waterhouse and his parents eventually
moved back to England some time in the late 1850's.
While growing up, Waterhouse assisted his father in
art studio where the young Waterhouse developed his
talents for sculpting and painting. In England, after
several attempts at admission to the Royal Academy,
he finally succeeded entrance in 1870. In 1885, Waterhouse
became an Associate of the Royal Academy, and then a
full member, Royal Academician, in 1895.
Although often classified as a Pre-raphaelite
for his style and themes, Waterhouse is truly a Neo-Classic
painter. Some of Waterhouse's earlier works were focused
on Italian themes and scenery, reflecting his love for
his birth place. Later on, his works picked up the styles
and classical themes of Pre-raphaelites such as Alma-Tadema
and Frederick Leighton. Waterhouse went on to paint
well over 200 paintings depicting classical mythogolgy,
historical and literary subjects, particularly those
of Roman mythology and classic English poets such as
Keats and Tennyson. Femme fatale is a common theme in
his works, as most are of beautiful elegaic women and
of many men are victims.
Waterhouse is one of the rare artists
who became popular and relatively well-off financially
when he was alive. He continued to paint until his death
on the 10th of February, 1917 after a long illness.
His style became a major influence on many of the later
Pre-raphaelites including Frank Dicksee and Herber James
Draper.
Today, many of his works are in private
collections or somewhere unknown; however, most of his
famous paintings can be found scattered all over England.
Among these is "The Lady of Shalott" - 1888,
which can be found in London; "Hylas and the Nymphs"
- 1896, at Manchester City Art Gallery, and "Echo
and Narcissus" - 18xx, at the Walker Art Gallery
in Liverpool. His other famous works can be found around
the world including Germany (La Belle Dame Sans Merci),
Scotland (Penelope and the Suitors), and Australia (Circe
Invidiosa)
