John William Waterhouse painting reproduction – Hand-painted Pre-Raphaelite copy
A leading British painter of the late 19th century, John William Waterhouse combined the Pre-Raphaelite legacy with Symbolist poetry. His paintings, filled with light and mystery, portray mythological and literary heroines in moments of contemplation or emotion. In my studio, I hand-paint faithful reproductions of his works in oil on canvas, preserving their romantic depth and delicate luminosity.

The romantic elegance of Waterhouse
Waterhouse combines poetry and precision: his mythological scenes, imbued with luminous softness, celebrate the beauty and strength of women.
Myths and legends painted with passion
Waterhouse liked to paint outdoors to better capture natural light, a practice rare among his Neo-Pre-Raphaelite contemporaries. He often used the same models for several paintings, notably his wife, thus lending great intensity to his characters. Throughout his career, he corresponded regularly with other Pre-Raphaelite artists, exchanging advice and reflections on the representation of female figures.
The Neo-Pre-Raphaelite influence through time
Works such as The Lady of Shalott and Hylas and the Nymphs still fascinate today: they bring myths back to life while appealing to modern sensibilities, in a blend of nostalgia and dreaminess.
A hand-painted reproduction of this poetic master brings myth, emotion, and serene beauty into your home.
