    Oil Painting Reproductions of Waterhouse’s artworks

    Many visitors asked us if we still offering hand-painted oil painting reproductions of John william waterhouse’s artworks. Unfortunately, we are not offering this service anymore. I understand that there are quite a lot of art reproduction company out there, but it is really hard to source a reliable gallery online supplying quality art with reasonable price. According to my years of business in oil paintings, the price difference can be hundreds of dollars. In order to make our old customers save money, i am now giving away my painting supplier’s list.

    In the beginning of my business, i tried lots of art companies, studios, and galleries worldwide. After many bad experience, i finally stick to only two companies from China.

    The fist of my supplier is Art in Bulk, which is currently the leading wholesaler in cheap oil paintings. I am very happy with their price, i got top quality waterhouse reproduction usually at $60. Their customer service is outstanding as well. I have to thank Celia, the sales of Art in Bulk, who took care of all my orders.

    My second supplier is Cheap Wall Arts, a modern canvas art company. I bought all my modern paintings from them. Their designs are really fantastic. Not only just single canvas artwork, but also paintings in multi panels. They offer art reproductions too, but the price is a bit expensive than Art in Bulk.

    Below is some artworks done by them. See for your self.

  • Tristan and Isolde 1916

    Tristan and Isolde 1916

    Date: 1916
    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Size: 42 x 32 in
    Location: Private Collection

    Waterhouse painted the story of Tristan and Isolde in 1916. The tale is adapted from Arthurian times and focuses on two lovers doomed to be separated forever. Their draped clothes are in maroon and burgundy, and Isolde’s dress is green. The plum shades on Tristan’s armour hint at the longing and love that lies beneath.

    The play is famous for the love potion that Isolde drank when she was betrothed to Tristan. After drinking the love potion, the two were bound by love forever. This replica by Waterhouse perfectly captures the depth of color, the subtle brushstrokes, and the texture of the original painting. It is mounted in an elegant European style frame crafted of high quality designer resin with an acanthus border that draws the viewer’s eyes toward the painting.

    Waterhouse’s painting was painted while he was gravely ill. The work continues the theme of an enchantress and a warrior. As the story unfolds, Tristan returns to Ireland to bring Iseult to her wedding. But he falls in love with Iseult and thus enters a love triangle with the enchantress. Although it is a retelling of the famous Shakespearean play, it is still worth a look just to appreciate the original.

    The story behind the painting is a timeless classic. It tells the tale of Isolde’s enchantment with Tristan. After drinking the love potion, Isolde broke her marriage and was forever bound to Tristan. The artist’s reproduction of the original work successfully captures the subtle brushstrokes and texture of the original. The painting is mounted on a beautiful European style frame cast in quality designer resin. Acanthus motifs adorn the border, drawing the viewer’s eyes to the image.

  • Miranda — The Tempest 1916

    Miranda — The Tempest 1916

    Date: 1916
    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Size: 98 x 136 cm
    Location:

    The paintings of Miranda The Tempest are not only beautiful, but they also offer hope that the play’s tragic events will have a happy ending. Waterhouse used the most tragic lines from the play to create a series of unique scenes, and in doing so, he created a painting that conveys the desperation and hopelessness of Miranda’s character. Although Waterhouse’s work is known for embracing unconventional artistic methods, he was often inspired by other art forms to create his works.

    One of the most striking features of Miranda is the storm that rages in the background. It is painted in cold tones, underscoring the dramatic sense of loss and numbness. The ship itself is sliced and thrown about by powerful waves, leading the viewer’s gaze towards the threatening rocks. The painting is reminiscent of Waterhouse’s earlier version of Miranda, painted in 1875. The painting demonstrates the artist’s skill and confidence.

    This painting of Miranda is a highly effective representation of the drama surrounding the fateful journey of the young boy Ferdinand. It highlights the ambiguity of the situation by presenting the storm in cold tones. It focuses the viewer’s gaze towards the threatening rocks that threaten to destroy the ship. In addition to Waterhouse’s brilliant and confident use of color, Waterhouse incorporated the theme of the tragedy in many of his works in the early 1870s.

    Despite being a pre-Raphaelite masterpiece, Miranda is one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works. A well-crafted reproduction of the play by John William Waterhouse will be ready for hanging in a home or office. The artist’s intention is to capture the drama of the play in an appealing manner. In addition to its artistic quality, Miranda is considered one of the most popular paintings of Shakespeare in the world.

  • A Tale from the Decameron 1916

    A Tale from the Decameron 1916

    Date: 1916
    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Size: 102 x 159 cm
    Location: Lady Lever Art Gallery, Liverpool, UK

    In A Tale from the Decameron 1916, John William Waterhouse portrays a young man telling a story in a fashionable manner. The storyteller is based on a fourteenth century Italian text, Boccaccio’s Decameron. The storyteller is dressed in an elegant manner and holds a lute in his hands, reminiscent of a small acoustic guitar.

    The work of John William Waterhouse is a good example of his style. He drew his inspiration from Impressionists and the Pre-Raphaelites. He also favored depictions of women in Arthurian legend and mythology. Although his focus was on classical literature, Waterhouse was interested in medieval literature. In his painting, A Tale from the Decameron, he shows the frame story of Boccaccio’s Decameron. The young storytellers are playing musical instruments and are singing, making the picture seem even more opulent. The aristocratic values of the story are reflected in the painting.

  • I am half-sick of shadows, said the Lady of Shalott 1916

    I am half-sick of shadows, said the Lady of Shalott 1916

    Date: 1916
    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Size: 39.5 x 29 in
    Location: Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    “I Am Half-Sick of Shadows Slept the Lady of Shalott” is a painting by John William Waterhouse, based on a ballad by Alfred Tennyson, the poet and Englishman. The painting was uploaded to the Internet on May 29, 2015. It depicts a woman who is sick of the shadows that she sees. She is weaving a tapestry. She looks out into the world through a large mirror in the background. In the mirror, she sees two young lovers coming and going. Perhaps these are young lovers recently married, as they are reflected in the mirror. The Lady of the Tower is sick of the shadows and longs for real love.

    The painting gives the poem a physical image. Waterhouse uses colour to make comments about the Lady and the world, and the scene he creates is an allusion to the Lady’s enchanted tower. The woman is bound to be ‘half-sick of shadows,’ and is destined to be stuck there until she dies. The Lady is half-sick of shadows and she is suffering for it.

  • Dante and Beatrice 1915

    Date: circa 1915
    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Size: 47 x 58.5 cm
    Location: Dahesh Museum of Art, Greenwich, Connecticut, USA

    “Dante and Beatrice 1915” by John William Waterhouse is an oil painting that depicts a passionate love story. The couple is separated by the river Lethe, where Dante kneels down. The right side of the river is barren, while the left side is brimming with flowers. This symbolic scene represents the journey from a sinful existence to a pure one. Dante and Beatrice, a modern romantic tale, is set in the midst of a garden.

    Dante and Beatrice is a classic example of Victorian painting, with a dramatic and beautiful setting and rich color. The artists’ work is often influenced by myth, poetry, and legend. Waterhouse was known for his skill in combining French and English styles. His paintings are a combination of intense, mysterious subjects, and painterly naturalism. His painting is a fusion of French and English styles, and the theme of spiritualized love, which Dante Alighieri celebrates in his poetry.

    Waterhouse’s Dante and Beatrice are two of Waterhouse’s most popular paintings. His wife, Esther Kenworthy, a daughter of an art schoolmaster from Ealing, exhibited her paintings at the Royal Academy. Their children, Nino and Beatrice, both died in early childhood. As the couple moved to England, Waterhouse was promoted to full academician status at the Royal Academy of Art. He worked as an art teacher and joined the St. John’s Wood Arts Club. She eventually became a member of the Royal Academy.

    In addition to Dante and Beatrice, Waterhouse’s paintings of the time are influenced by myth, poetry, and legend. She specialized in blending French and English styles to create beautiful and dramatic paintings. Her most popular paintings are depictions of spiritualized love. The artist’s oeuvre includes a wide range of subjects. Some of her most famous pieces are “Dante and Beatrice,” and her most famous works include “The Three Graces” and “The Birth of Jesus Christ.”

    This romantic masterpiece depicts the love affair of Dante and Beatrice. The dramatic setting and rich colors of the 1915 painting make this a classic Victorian work. Waterhouse’s work was heavily influenced by myth, poetry, and legend, and she is renowned for combining English and French techniques in her art. She is also known for incorporating French and English styles into her paintings. Beatrice Bowman, who appeared in Waterhouse’s Dante and Beatrice, was a successful painter in her lifetime.

    Waterhouse’s “The Annunciation 1914” is a hand-painted oil painting on canvas. It features a biblical story about Mary. The Virgin Mary is shown kneeling on a porch with her hands on her heart and a golden halo on her head. The angel Gabriel is also depicted, along with a white dove that symbolizes the Holy Spirit and God in Heaven. The crucifixion ring and a tiara are on the floor.

    This painting is not very famous, but it has a history. The Annunciation was a central event in the life of Jesus Christ, and this painting celebrates the moment. Since it’s a central theme in Western art, The Annals and Other Early Works by Waterhouse are well-worth seeing. There’s a lot to learn about this important event from Waterhouse’s paintings. You can learn a great deal about the artist by reading the biography of the man.

    Waterhouse believed that art can change people’s thoughts and actions. His paintings of ancient Greek mythology and Arthurian legend also influenced his themes. The Annunciation 1914 has become a popular piece in the British art world. Its historical significance and religious symbolism make it an attractive piece of art. However, the artist’s style of the painting is not the only factor that influences the painting’s popularity.
