Reproductions of the paintings by John William Waterhouse
One of the greatest representatives of 19th-century British painting is John William Waterhouse. The works of this artist are classified as neoclassicism and pre-Raphaelism, most often depicting female figures known from mythology or literature. Pre-Raphaelites refers to the name of the association founded in London in 1848 by a group of students of The Royal Academy of Art. They opposed Victorian, purely academic art and preached a program of morally revived art, modeled on the work of the masters of the early Italian Renaissance, which was visible in their works . Waterhouse's paintings are full of nostalgia, peace and mystery. The fairy-tale atmosphere of the works is a characteristic feature of Waterhouse's style. Subdued colors contrasted with bright female figures, often presented in profile, introduce the viewer to the magical world of the painter. Waterhouse uses symbols that relate to the current situation and problems of his time. The artist's unique style is known all over the world today.
