9、约翰•威廉姆•沃特豪斯(John William Waterhouse， British, 1849-1917)
沃特豪斯被认为成拉斐尔前派画家，但事实上并非如此。沃特豪斯早期受阿尔玛—达德玛和弗拉德里克•列顿影响，因此偏向于新古典主义，后来受伯恩—琼斯，但丁•罗塞蒂等人影响，便倾向于拉斐尔前派主义。
沃特豪斯的作品多以神话，历史故事，文学作品为题材，画风清新自然，带有神秘色彩，但比拉斐尔前派的画家的作品更有世俗性。

画布背后写着《浮士德》中的句子：<br /> 'These metaphysics of magicians<br /> And necromantic books are heavenly:<br /> Lines, circles, letters and characters:<br /> Ay, these are those that Faustus most desires.<br /> O, what a world of profit and delight,<br /> Of power, of honour, of omnipotence<br /> Is promised to the studious artisan!<br /> All things that move between the quiet poles<br /> Shall be at my command: emperors and kings<br /> Are but obeyed in their several provinces<br /> Nor can they raise the wind nor rend the clouds;<br /> But his dominion that exceeds in this<br /> Stretcheth as far as doth the mind of man.<br /> A sound magician is a mighty god:<br /> Here, Faustus, try thy brains to gain a deity.'<br /> <br /> Painting Date: 1911<br /> Medium: Oil on canvas<br /> Size: 74 x 109 cm<br /> Location: Peter Nahum At The Leicester Galleries, London, England
