• John William Godward
  "The serene beauty and astonishing technical execution of John William Godward's paintings contradict the fact that this important artist has received virtually no critical acclaim or art historical recognition." 

"The Mirror", 1899

Well, at least, he has one fan now, me!  I think Godward's paintings are wonderful and capture the essence of feminine beauty, at least at the the end of the 19th century.   I would rather have one of these works of art in my house, any day, than some stinking schlock art.
