About

This website is an ongoing personal project by Julia Kerr dedicated to the appreciation of the life and work of the British painter John William Waterhouse (1849-1917).

The primary objectives of this website are to:

1. Offer an online archive of Waterhouse's works (paintings, drawings, sketches, studies).

2. Provide biographical information, reproduction of out-of-print articles, along with articles created from original, previously unpublished research.

3. Keep track of newly discovered paintings.

4. Offer news of upcoming art auctions, exhibitions and events.

5. Provide details of new books and scholarly articles.

6. Give pointers on where to view Waterhouse's pictures in person.

7. Act as a contact starting point if a website visitor should have any Waterhouse related questions.
