John William Waterhouse

John William Waterhouse (1849 — 1917) was an English painter who became famous for his paintings of mythological female characters. Waterhouse was one of the final Pre-Raphaelite artists, being most productive in the last decades of the 19th and the early decades of the 20th century, long after the era of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. He has been referred to as the "modern Pre-Raphaelite", and incorporated techniques of the French Impressionists into his artwork.
