The imperishable softness of Le Temps des Roses, revealed by John William Godward
This intimate scene illustrates a carefully composed setting where a female figure, bathed in soft light, stands out against a backdrop of marble and flowers.

The atmosphere breathes serenity and elegance, blending a touch of melancholy with classical beauty. The balance of lines and the fineness of modeling reinforce the contemplative effect of this work.

John William Godward, master of Victorian neoclassicism
British painter from the late 19th century, John William Godward belongs to the neoclassical vein influenced by Greco-Roman Antiquity and by his contemporaries such as Lawrence Alma-Tadema. His work favors formal perfection, soft light, and meticulous rendering of surfaces — marbles, jewelry, fabrics — reflecting a refined taste for detail. Although linked to the Victorian milieu, Godward develops an intimate and contemplative aesthetic that has marked the history of academic painting, offering compositions where ideal beauty combines with a melancholic sensitivity. His paintings are now sought after for their technical quality and timeless atmosphere.
