Golden Hours 1913

John William Godward's "Golden Hours" (1913) is a classic example of the artist's signature style, known as "Classical Realism." This oil painting portrays a beautiful woman dressed in a pink and gold gown, seated against a backdrop of a calming seascape and lush greenery. The woman's delicate features and soft pose, combined with the idealized setting, evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite movement's admiration for beauty and the natural world. While the artwork is a fictional representation, it captures a timeless essence of classical aesthetics and evokes a serene atmosphere that resonates with viewers.
