B 'e John William NicBward am fear as sine de chòig chloinne, agus chaidh ainmeachadh air athair Eòin agus seanair Uilleam.
Sheall e aig an Acadamaidh Rìoghail bho 1887. Nuair a ghluais e dhan Eadailt le aon de na modalan aige a-steach 1912, Bhris a theaghlach a h-uile conaltradh ris agus eadhon gearradh an ìomhaigh aige bho dhealbhan teaghlaich. Thill Diaward a Shasainn a-steach 1921, bhàsaich e ann an 1922, agus tha e air a thiodhlacadh ann an cladh Brumpton, Lunnainn an Iar.
Is e aon de na dealbhan as ainmeil aige Dolce Far Niente (1904), a chaidh a cheannach airson cruinneachadh Anndra Lloyd Webber ann an 1995. Mar a tha ann an cùis grunn dhealbhan eile, Pheant Godward barrachd air aon dreach; sa chùis seo, na bu thràithe (agus nach eil cho aithnichte) 1897 dreach le dreach eile 1906 dreach.
Chuir e às dha fhèin aig aois 61 agus thathar ag ràdh gun do sgrìobh e a bhith a 'toirt cunntas fèin-mharbhadh sin “Chan eil an saoghal mòr gu leòr airson [an dà chuid] mi fhìn agus picasso”.
An teaghlach aige, nach robh air aontachadh mu bhith na neach-ealain, bha nàire air a fèin-mharbhadh agus loisg e na pàipearan aige. Chan eil ach aon dealbh de dhath a 'mairsinn beò.
Bha Godward na Neo-chlasaigeach Bhictorianach, agus uime sin, ann an teòiridh, neach-leantainn Frederic Leighton. Ach, tha e nas dlùithe ann an stoidhle ri Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, leis an robh e a ’co-roinn penchant airson ailtireachd Clasaigeach a thoirt seachad - gu sònraichte, feartan cruth-tìre statach air an togail le marmor.
Tha a ’mhòr-chuid de na h-ìomhaighean a tha ann an Godward a’ nochdadh boireannaich ann an èideadh clasaigeach air an cur an aghaidh feartan cruth-tìre; ged a tha cuid de fhigearan leth-nude agus làn nude air an toirt a-steach don oeuvre aige, eisimpleir sònraichte a bhith “Anns an Tepidarium c1913”.
Tiotal a chaidh a cho-roinn le dealbh connspaideach Alma-Tadema den aon chuspair a tha a ’fuireach anns an “Gailearaidh Ealain Lady Lever”. Tha na tiotalan a ’nochdadh stòr brosnachaidh Godward; a bha na shìobhaltachd clasaigeach, gu sònraichte an Ròimh Àrsaidh; Cuspair a 'ceangal dìochuimhne gu dlùth gu h-ealana gu h-ealanta.
Leis gu robh sgoilearachd clasaigeach nas sgaoilte am measg an luchd-èisteachd a dh 'fhaodadh a bhith ann airson na dealbhan aige fad a bheatha na anns an latha a dh' fhalbh na san latha a th 'ann an latha an-diugh, Bha rannsachadh mion-fhiosrachadh failteus cudromach gus neach-ealain fhaighinn san ghnothach seo.
Bha Alma-Tadema na arc-eòlaiche a bharrachd air peantair, a bha a 'frithealadh làraich eachdraidheil agus artifacts a chaidh an cleachdadh a-rithist anns na dealbhan aige: Godward, cuideachd, Rinn e sgrùdadh air mion-fhiosrachadh mar ailtireachd agus èideadh, gus dèanamh cinnteach gum biodh stampa na fìreantachd air na rinn e.
A bharrachd air, Thug Godward seachad feartan cudromach eile anns na dealbhan aige gu cùramach agus gu faiceallach, craiceann bheathaichean às a bheil na dealbhan “Rest Noon Day c1910” agus “Retreat fionnar c1910” tha eisimpleirean ann de leithid de riochdachadh a bharrachd air flùraichean fiadhaich “Nerissa c1906” agus “Flùraichean Samhraidh c1903”.
Bidh coltas boireannaich brèagha a chaidh a sgrùdadh ann an uimhir de chnabh-cana-cheannaiche droma a 'toirt mòran de dhaoine ùra air a sheòrsachadh gu mearachdach mar a bhith rop-raphelite, gu h-àraidh leis gu bheil am paileas aige gu math dathach beòthail. An roghainn cuspair (seann shìobhaltas an aghaidh, mar eisimpleir, Uirsgeul Arthurian) nas freagarraiche na Neo-chlasaigeach Bhictorianach.
Coltach ri grunn pheantairean co-aimsireil leis, Bha Godward na ‘High Victorian Dreamer’, a ’dèanamh ìomhaighean de shaoghal air leth freagarrach agus romansach a, ann an cùis an dà chuid Godward agus Alma-Tadema, a chàineadh mar shealladh cruinne de Bhictòrianaich ann an togas.
Godward “stèidhich e cliù gu luath airson na dealbhan aige de bhoireannaich òga ann an suidheachadh clasaigeach agus a chomas a bhith a ’cur an cèill le cugallachd agus maighstireachd teignigeach faireachdainn inneach eadar-dhealaichte feòil, marmor, bian agus aodach.
Is dòcha gun tàinig penchant Godward airson a bhith a ’cruthachadh pìosan ealain a chaidh a shuidheachadh anns an ùine chlasaigeach bhon àm san do rugadh e; oir b ’e an ath-bheothachadh clasaigeach làn-sgèile mu dheireadh ann an dealbhan an iar, shoirbhich sin ann an Sasainn bho na 1860an suas gu na 1890an.
