John William Waterhouse (April 6, 1849 – February 10, 1917) was an English painter. His artworks were known for their depictions of women from both ancient Greek Mythology and Arthurian Legend. In total he produced 118 paintings.
You can't be a fan a illustrated mythology and legend and not love J.W. Waterhouse. I once saw the original "Lamia" at the Auckland City Gallery, New Zealand. It was breathtaking. And then of course there is "Hylas and the Nymphs". One of my all time favourite paintings. In fact, if I could own one famous painting, it would be this.
