Contact Mark Samuels Lasner with questions. About the lecture: The great Victorian painter J.W. Waterhouse (1849Ð1917) is known worldwide as a "late Pre-Raphaelite" because he discovered and began revitalizing the legacy of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood as late as 1886. It is odd, however, that the paintings he made after 1882, such as The Lady of Shalott, have never been interpreted as evidence of Waterhouse's keen awareness of the golden age being enjoyed in the theatres of London and Paris at the time. Trippi's talk looks at this phenomenon, linking it to such figures as Ellen Terry and Henry Irving, and also to Waterhouse's mature masterpieces, such as Saint Cecilia of 1895 and Hylas and the Nymphs of 1896.
