"A Greek Beauty" is a painting by the English artist John William Godward (1861–1922), who was known for his classical and neoclassical works featuring languid women set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean landscape. Godward's work is often associated with the end of the Victorian Neoclassicism period, and he is considered one of the key figures in the genre alongside artists such as Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Frederic Leighton.

The painting "A Greek Beauty" is emblematic of Godward's style, which is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the serene and contemplative mood it evokes. The subject of the painting is a young woman, likely an idealized figure inspired by ancient Greek culture, as suggested by the title. She is typically depicted in a flowing robe, with classical architectural elements or lush landscapes serving as the backdrop, which was a common motif in Godward's work.

The exact date of creation for "A Greek Beauty" is not well-documented, but Godward's most prolific period was between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, before his death in 1922. His paintings from this era often reflect a nostalgia for the classical world, at a time when the British Empire was at its zenith and there was a cultural fascination with the ancient civilizations of Greece and Rome.

"A Greek Beauty" is representative of the period's aesthetic values and Godward's personal artistic vision, which favored beauty and a refined elegance. The painting would have been created using oil on canvas, the medium in which Godward was most proficient. His technique involved the use of marble dust in his pigments to achieve a smooth, marble-like surface that enhanced the luminosity and texture of his paintings.

While Godward was not as widely recognized during his lifetime as some of his contemporaries, his work has since gained appreciation for its technical skill and its portrayal of an idyllic, romanticized antiquity. "A Greek Beauty" contributes to the understanding of the late Victorian taste for classical subjects and the technical achievements of the period's artists in their pursuit of beauty and escapism through art.
