I share your enjoyment of his paintings. His works went through a long period when they were "unfashionable" (silly that it should happen but there....). One reason why there has been a re-awakening of interest in the pre-Raphaelites seems to have been the way in which Andrew Lloyd Webber has amassed a great collection - about the only useful thing he has ever done! Waterhouse depicted the male figure rarely: the only one that comes to mind is Tristan in "Tristan and Isolde share a potion". Circe was painted in 1911.
