John William Waterhouse Screensaver
-
Version
4.6
In the middle of the 19th century, a group of artists
in England rebelled against what they viewed as the
hypocrisy and pompousness of current art. This
hypocrisy and pompousness was epitomized, in the view
of these rebellious artists, by the art of the Italian
Renaissance painter Raphael. They formed themselves
into a group, the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. They
dedicated themselves to detailed, truthful and
realistic renderings of art in direct opposition to
what they viewed as the false theatricality of Raphael
and his followers. Perhaps the greatest of these so-
called rebels, John William Waterhouse gave the world
a view of beauty and fantasy unlike any other artist
before. Enjoy 40 treasures of beauty, fantasy and myth
in this screensaver presentation of paintings from one
of history's greatest artists - John William
Waterhouse.
