Anonymous asked:
Can you recommend me classical art with Greek mythology motive?
I'd love to! Greek and Roman mythology is one of the most popular motives in art history, it was used in almost all styles and movements since its beginning in the ancient times. Here are some of my favorite artists who portrayed the gods and myths between Baroque and the 20th century. Although all of their work isn't exclusively about the ancient mythology, you'll find a wide variety of styles and depictions between them.
1. John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)
2. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653)
3. William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905)
4. Angelika Kauffmann (1741-1807)
5. François Boucher (1703-1770)
6. Evelyn de Morgan (1855-1919)
7. Gustav Klimt (1862-1918)
8. Frederick Sandys (1829-1904)
