Discovered a fabulous art site today-The Art Renewal Center. They claim to be the world's largest online museum, and I must say I love their layout and the prints are of incredible qualtiy. Found some stunning images...
A preview of John Godward and of Frederick, Lord Leighton.
Leighton is one of my favorite artists of all time, having produced the masterpiece Painter's Honeymoon(click at your risk, it's far too large, I feature a smaller version below) which is practically a living love poem in shades of warmth and richness and lyricism. I love the way she leans against him and the way his hand is cupped over his. Also the dedication to art which this displays. Godward I just discovered, but he's lovely.
