Herbert Draper (1863 – September 22, 1920)

                                                                                                                             
The Lament for Icarus
1898

Draper was a magnificent painter, who like so many Classicists was completely forgotten. That Draper had amazing technique and great sense of composition, unfortunately, mattered little to those who necessitated an at least Impressionistic style, progressively speaking; but I love Draper and the Classicists, nonetheless.
