The Signal - Framed Prints
1,150 Rs
John William Godward (9 August 1861 – 13 December 1922) was an English painter from the end of the Neo-Classicist era.
Godward was a protégé of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, but his style of painting fell out of favour with the arrival of painters such as Picasso. He committed suicide at the age of 61 and is said to have written in his suicide note that "The world is not big enough for myself and a Picasso".
The vast majority of Godward's extant images feature women in Classical dress, posed against these landscape features.

About The Signal
"The Signal" by John William Godward incredibly expresses a universal feeling, the isolation experienced in the midst of uncertainty. The woman's brightly colored antique dress, not authentic but suggestive of antiquity, contrasts sharply with the smooth marble balustrade supporting her, whose open stonework was based on ancient models. While setting and costume allude to the ancient past, this painting's theme is timeless: waiting to hear from a loved one. The seascape in the background, the young woman's gesture, and her diaphanous gown, slightly rippling like a flag, all suggest an awaited signal from her beloved. About the Framed Prints
