An heir to antique beauty
Born in London in 1861, John William Godward was inspired by Pre-Raphaelite painters and his spiritual master, Lawrence Alma-Tadema.
Fascinated by Greco-Roman antiquity, he dedicates his art to the depiction of idealized women in marble settings bathed in Mediterranean light.
Every detail — folds of drapery, reflections on the stone, textures of fabrics — testifies to an exceptional technical mastery and a refined taste for classical perfection.
His work evokes a timeless world, imbued with calm, order, and beauty.
The art of grace and silence
Godward's paintings exude an atmosphere of contemplative silence and subtle sensuality.
Works such as Dolce Far Niente, Athenais, Idle Hours or The Belvedere depict dreamy young women, draped in shimmering fabrics, in marble interiors opening onto the Aegean Sea.
His soft colors — pinks, golds, turquoise blues — and warm light create a perfect balance between sensuality and purity.
Each canvas is a tribute to the eternal woman, symbol of elegance, calm, and idealized beauty.
