Art on Friday: John William Waterhouse

When my blog was in Dutch there was a time when I wrote a weekly Friday art blog. Unfortunately there weren't a lot of people who liked art or appreciated art. So now I will try again and hopefully their will be more people who will like it. I can't change the tags that are already in Dutch, but art is 'kunst' in Dutch. If you want to read former art blogs, please do!

My favorite era is truly the Pre-Raphealite Brotherhood .
Influenced by that circle was one John William Waterhouse. I'm not one for copying texts from sites so his bio will be linked.

I love his work as I do that of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's and other Pre-Raphealite painter's.
