About the artist
John William Waterhouse (1849–1917) painted women the way dreams paint them — luminous, mysterious, and caught in moments of quiet tension that feel suspended in time. The English Pre-Raphaelite painter spent his career immortalising figures from mythology, literature, and legend with a warmth, beauty, and emotional depth that feels as alive today as it did in Victorian England. His most celebrated works — A Mermaid, The Lady of Shalott, Psyche Entering Cupid's Garden — are among the most beloved and searched subjects in the entire cross stitch kit world, and for good reason.
Our John William Waterhouse cross stitch kit collection brings his most iconic works to life in counted cross stitch form.
