Book Description
"In this expanded and revised edition of a seminal work, Vern G. Swanson delves into the life and paintings of this little-known classicist. An important reference for anyone with an interest in the late post-Renaissance painters ... Contains beautiful full-color reproductions of almost all known works attributed to this immensely talented artist ... Swanson's original edition of John William Godward introduced the life of a very private man who pushed the classical ideal further into the twentieth century than most would think possible. This revised edition contains the author's latest research - significant expansions to the text, as well as approximately 100 new pictures, many of which have only recently been attributed to Godward" -- Publisher.
