The
Enchanted Garden
John Waterhouse was born in Rome and later
moved to England with his family. Early in his career, he painted
Greek and Roman subjects, no doubt as an influence of his childhood.
In the 1880's, he was influenced by literary themes. This particular
painting was Waterhouse's last. It is an unfinished painting.

A Peacock and Doves in a Garden by Eugene Bidau Unfortunately, I couldn¹t find a biography about this artist. All the paintings I have seen by this artist are beautiful floral themes.

A Woman, A Man and a Serpent by John Liston Byam Shaw Shaw was born in India, and later graduated from the Royal Academy in London in 1890. He was a late follower of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Shaw was a prolific illustrator of books and short stories. In 1910, he founded the Byam School of Art which is in London and is still active today. In this painting, he depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Eve is the central figure in this painting, while Adam is in the shadows and playing a secondary role. The garden is filled with several birds (how many can you find?) and a snake is evident, both along the right hand side and bottom of the painting, and less evident, in the upper left.

Under the
Blossom that Hangs on the Bough
by John Godward Godward was a British artist, and a follower of Sir Lawrence Tadema. Their style was referred to as "the marble school" since marble was a part of so many of their paintings. Godward loved to paint beautiful women in classic Greek style robes. Godward exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art. Unfortunately for Godward, most Victorian style paintings of his type became a mockery at that time. Since Godward was unable to change his style, his depression led him to commit suicide. Ironically his paintings are very popular today. This painting is typical of much of his work. A beautiful woman, flowers, and the ever present marble. It is vibrant with color, and has a peaceful feeling. Price: 13.95 plus shipping/handling. CA residents, please add 7.375% sales tax. |

The Young Gardener by George Dulop Leslie Son of painter C.R. Leslie, George Leslie was born in London. His focus in painting was to capture the sunny side of English domestic life. I think he captured that sentiment in this painting. The English have an intense love of gardens. In this sweet painting, a mother helps her young daughter to learn the love of gardening.What could be sweeter? A lovely garden and the joys of a sweet child eager to learn and explore the world around her. Price: 13.95 plus shipping/handling. CA residents, please add 7.375% sales tax. |
