  
 Trained at the prestigious Royal Academy Schools and elected to full membership in the Academy at the age of forty-six, John William Waterhouse (1849-1917) ranks as one of the finest of the Victorian painters. His depictions of wistful long-haired maidens, haunted by loneliness or desire, captivate viewers with their sumptuous colors, meticulous details, and extraordinary sense of unfolding drama. Combining superb draftsmanship with a deep knowledge and appreciation of antiquity, Waterhouse succeeded in fusing reality and fantasy, bringing vividly to life the characters of classical mythology and European legend. This book of postcards transports you to a realm of romanticism and beauty with 30 reproductions of Waterhouse's works.
