John Godward: Painting Beautiful Women in Victorian Style of Painting

John William Godward (1861 – 1922) was a British painter. He was a painter different from other artists of his time. He was a Victorian Neo-classicist painter and a follower in theory of the master painter Frederic Leighton. Most of the paintings done by him were featuring the women in classical dresses. His collection of artworks is rich with the paintings of semi-clothed and unclothed females.

The Art: When the colour-loaded brush of a painter runs on a canvas, it does not remain mute. It speaks. It sings a song along with the rhythm of the colours. And when we look at such a painting, we have our choices, desires and purposes. These purposes are as varied as the number of the people seeing it. For most of the people the work of art, a painting or a sculpture, is an object to look at and get enjoyed and be pleased. But for a creative artist, a painting, or any piece of artwork, is an allegory. It is because in a painting the figures are intended to personify a variety of abstract ideas and the thinking.

The Paintings: At first glance, paintings of Godward would look simple portraits of homely women. But to conclude in that manner would be a mistake. He had good architectural knowledge and had very deep knowledge of the dresses. Due to this extraordinary prowess, he could paint the tiniest details of the dresses and the parts of the building that happened to be on canvas.

If we look at his painting titled as Tranquility (1914), we can see the vibrant use of red and transparent red used for the clothes of the woman portrayed. The natural scene painted in the backside of the sitting to the natural beauty of the figure. The choice of subject matter by him was more similar to that of Victorian Neo-classicist style of painting. He had kept his palette a vibrantly colourful one. No colour and no mood would escape his palette.

In his paintings, would mark the supporting presence of landscape feature. His female figures, unclothed or clothed, are generally posed against landscape features. From his artworks and the dresses he painted, we can assume that he had painted under the influence of the artists of Classical Greco-Roman style of painting.

He was a keen observer of the things. In many of his paintings we can see how he painted the artistic legs of the table on which the lady would put her beauty box, her make-up materials.
