John william waterhouse

Myths, legends, and ancient history are the most common elements in Waterhouse's checkered cross stitch schemes. The British painter John William Waterhouse, the son of artists, was characterized by paintings with a mysterious and romantic atmosphere, as you can see in this section. In the 1901 painting "A Mermaid", this mythological being appears in a rocky shoreline landscape. Its proportions, its luminosity and its colors made Waterhouse a well-known and famous painter. You will find this and other works in the section of cross stitch diagrams of Waterhouse paintings.
