Herbert James Draper (1863-1920) became one of the most successful exponents of academic romanticism in an era in a state of flux, an opulent Golden Age, which saw the last stance of grand narrative painting. Whilst some dreamt of Avalon or Karnak, Draper and his patrons were beguiled by the call of the siren and the distant laughter of the bacchante. The dream would not last for ever.
Herbert James Draper; A Life Study is the first analysis of Draper's art and life, discussing his successes and failures, rise to fame and eventual descent into obscurity.

HARDCOVER. Zustand: New. Herbert Draper was one of the most successful painters of classical mythologies and elegant portraits, in the period between the turn of the Twentieth Century and the advent of the First World War. His pictures are the archetypes of the Victorian classical revival; dramatic and sensually charged subjects of beautiful maidens and dynamic heroes. Neglected for over half a century, Draper's work has finally been reassessed. He is now regarded as one of the last great painters of classical narratives in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain. Herbert Draper: A Life Study is the first study of Draper's art and life, largely based on previously unstudied material in private archives. Many of the pictures reproduced in this book for the first time are now in private collections and have not been exhibited since Draper's death. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 93022
