John William Godward (1861-1922)

~The Sweet Siesta of a Summer Day~

1891, oil on canvas.

The inspiration for The Sweet Siesta of a Summer Day comes from Lord Byron’s poem The Island (1823), specifically canto II, section VI:

“𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀

𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗲𝘀,

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗶𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆,

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗶,

𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗺,

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗹𝗺.”

One of Byron’s last major works, The Island describes a fictional, paradisiacal place called Toobonai where there is no class system or division of property. Much like the utopia of Byron’s fantasy, the settings of John William Godward’s paintings are far removed from the trials of the modern world. In this sophisticated and complex composition, a classical beauty in a diaphanous cerulean stola lounges gracefully on a marble bench, indifferent to a smoking Mount Vesuvius visible in the distant summer haze. The second figure plays a classical Greek double flute or aulos. The warm, vivid hues of the Pompeiian interior’s frescoed walls contrast with the cool marble and the serene azure vista beyond the arbor. It is a scene of idyllic beauty and pensive idleness.

Basically, if you’re ever discouraged from questioning, something isn’t quite right.

Up until recently I thought I had only shot black and white  in Ann’s beautiful sunny studio. Easy to miss one roll of film contacted in black and white! Twenty years later here is the frame.
