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 In The Days Of The Sappho (Reverie)

"In The Days Of The Sappho (Reverie)" painted by John William Godward demonstrates the artist's ability to paint variety of textures such as silk, fur, and marble with great accuracy, approaching photographic realism, and arrange them to enliven the subtly colored composition. Lost in her thoughts, a languid young woman lounges on a smooth, veined marble bench terminating in a herm figure, probably representing the type of the poet Homer with its heavy beard, thick hair, and narrow ribbon around the head. The cloth wrapped around her hips, over her silky chiton, or tunic, is not an authentic element of ancient costume, but it bears a repeated palmette border based on a common ancient design. The fluffy, spotted animal fur is almost tactile but has no specific connection to antiquity.
