Azaleas
1867-1868
Women in respite is a nearly constant theme throughout Moore's work. And the theme and the style he used created that soft languishment that makes for a very particular type of beauty. Also Moore in much of his art did not try to relay a message, so much as he tried to express his conception of a particular subject's beauty, which is not necessarily something you can say about certain of his fellow Classicists, such as Leighton.

ReplyDeleteMairim, they're from related movements, though I feel Waterhouse had sharper-looking paintings.
