More about this artwork

"Carina" (1910) by John William Godward is a stunning exemplar of the artist's precise style and his fascination with Neo-Classicism. This delicate portrait captures a young woman dressed in a flowing, diaphanous robe, suggesting the classic attire of ancient Greece or Rome. The soothing palette of pastel blues and intricate details of the fabric highlight Godward's meticulous approach to texture and color. The woman's serene expression and direct gaze create an intimate connection with the viewer, evoking a sense of timeless beauty and calm reflection.The background, a simple yet effective marble slab, adds to the classical feel, emphasizing the purity and simplicity of the composition. Each detail, from the soft folds of the garment to the subtle shifts in the lighting, showcases Godward's skill in blending realism with idealistic beauty. This painting not only reflects Godward's artistic mastery but also his deep appreciation for the classical past, capturing both the physical and emotional grace of his subject.

John William Godward was an English painter from the end of the Neo-Classicist era. He was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting fell out of favor with the rise of modern art.

Godward was born in 1861 and lived in Wilton Grove, Wimbledon. He was born to Sarah Eboral and John Godward (an investment clerk at the Law Life Assurance Society, London).
