Peter Trippi studied at New York University and at the Courtauld Institute of Art, London. Before moving to the Brooklyn Museum of Art (New York City) in 1998, he helped organize and wrote catalogue essays for the Baltimore Museum of Art's international touring exhibition A Grand Design: The Art of the Victoria and Albert Museum. He has prepared the first entry on J.W. Waterhouse for the New Dictionary of National Biography and is the founding Executive Editor of Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide, an electronic journal produced by the Association of Historians of Nineteenth-Century Art.
"A fresh and absorbing analysis."—Antiques Trade Gazette "Scholarly and detailed book."—Times Literary Supplement "A must for Pre-Raphaelite fans."—The Argus "This is good social art history in a sumptuous format."—Independent) "Until I read this meticulously researched, cogently argued and handsomely illustrated book, all I knew about Waterhouse could have been written on the back of a postage stamp."—World of Interiors) "While the book places the artist within his era, it is Trippi's sensitive descriptions of the works and his attention to technique and the painted surface that give his method innovation and insight. The handsome colour plates, including double-page spreads of such monumental works as St Cecilia (1895) and Hylas and the Nymphs (1896) as well as the hitherto unreproduced Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May (1909), substantiate Trippi's assertion that Waterhouse's complex aesthetic still compels audiences today."—Art Quarterly "Beautifully designed, sumptuously illustrated and reasonably priced... Trippi has produced a book which will appeal to a wide variety of readers."—Colin Cruise, Staffordshire University, The Art Book
