John William Godward
John William Godward (9 August 1861 - 13 December 1922) is an English painter since the end of the new-progressive era. He was a disciple of Mr. Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting was not impressed with the rise of modern art.

Godward was born in 1861 and lived in Wilton Grove, Wimbledon. He was born to Sarah Eborrell and John Godward (an investment clerk at London's Law Life Assurance Society). 17–19 He was the oldest of five children. He was named after his father John and grandpa William. He was baptized at St Mary's Church in Battersea on October 17, 1861. He was isolated and shy at an adult because of his parents' patient attitude.

He exhibited at the Royal Academy since 1887 When he moved to Italy with one of his model in 1912, his family broke down all ties with him and even cut his image from family pictures. Brompton Cemetery, West London.
One of his most famous paintings is Dolce far Niente (1904), bought in 1995 for Andrew Lloyd Webber's collection. Godward painted more than one version, as well as several other paintings; at this time, a previous (and less popular) 1897 version with another 1906 version.

Action
Godward was a Victorian new-classist, and therefore, theorically, a follower of Federick Lighton. However, he associates with Mr. Lawrence Alma-Tadema in style, he shared a desire to create stable landscaping features made of classic architecture—especially, dairy.
The majority of Godward's current images show women dressed in classic outfits that stand against landscapes, but his creation has semi-naked and complete nude images, an outstanding example is In The Tepidarium (1913), controversial A shared topic with a negative topic. Alma-Tadema painting on the same subject where Lady Lever Art Gallery resides in? ] Topics reflect Godward's source of inspiration: Classic civilization, more remarkably in Old Rome (again, a subject that binds God closely to Alma-Tadema. In the art of it).
As the classic scholarship has spread widely among the potential audience for his paintings in his lifetime than present, detailed subtle research was vital to take a stand as an artist in this genre. Alma-Tadema was an archaeologist as well as an artist, he visited historic places and added architecture and apparel he later used in his paintings: architect and costume to ensure Godward also holds a stamp of truth in his works Studied the details like this. .
In addition, Godward contains examples of such demonstrations in his paintings, Animal Leather (1910 Noon Day Rest (1910) and A Cool Retreat (1910), and other important elements in Wildflowers (Nerissa (1906) and Summer Flowers. Very hard work and subtle Just presented it as 1903) again the examples of this).
The appearance of beautiful women in Godward's many canvases studied positions, causes many newcomers to his works to misguide him as pre-rafyalite, especially his pattern is often a colorful one. Picking subjects (for example the Athurian legend vs ancient civilization) is more accurate than the Victorian new classicist. Similar to many contemporary artists, Godward was a 'high Victorian dreamer', producing a world of exemplary and romantic feelings, both Godward and Alma-Tadema, was criticized as a world vision. Victorians in togas'.
Godward" quickly gained reputation for paintings of young women in a potential background, with his ability to express with sensation and technical expertise in clogged texture, meat, dairy, fur and textile. "Godward's passion for design". Classic era artworks probably come from the period he was born. "The final full-sized classic inspiration of Western art blooms in England in the 1860s and bloomed in the next three decades." "
