EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Myrhinna (Myrina, Myrine)" by John William Godward, showcases the exquisite talent of academic art in the early 20th century. Painted in 1915, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 40.6x45.8 inches and is currently held in a private collection. The focal point of the painting is a stunning young woman with curly blond hair, radiating youth and beauty. She gazes directly at the viewer with an air of regality and confidence befitting a queen or mythological figure from ancient Greece. Her delicate features are meticulously rendered by Godward's skilled brushwork. Dressed as a horsewoman or ecuyere, she exudes elegance and grace while sitting atop her majestic steed. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the intricate folds of her flowing garments to the subtle play of light on her porcelain skin. Godward's choice to depict this mysterious figure from antiquity adds an element of intrigue to the painting. Who was Myrhinna? What stories lie behind her enigmatic smile? These questions invite viewers to delve into Greek mythology and explore their own interpretations. This print captures not only Godward's technical prowess but also his ability to transport us back in time through his artistry. It serves as a reminder that even within our modern world, we can still find inspiration and fascination in ancient tales and timeless beauty.
