"With Violets Wreathed and Robe of Saffron Hue" is a painting by the English artist John William Godward (1861–1922), who was known for his classical and neoclassical works featuring languid women in classical settings. The title of the painting is derived from a line in Keats's poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn," reflecting the romantic and idealized vision of ancient life that was popular among the Victorians and Edwardians.

Completed in 1902, this work is a quintessential example of Godward's style, which is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the serene, contemplative mood of its subjects. The painting depicts a young woman in classical dress, adorned with violets and draped in a saffron-colored robe, which was a pigment commonly associated with the robes of Buddhist monks and a symbol of nobility in ancient Greece.

The subject is typically set against a marble terrace or a balustrade, with a distant view of the sea or a lush landscape, which was a common motif in Godward's paintings. The use of marble and the inclusion of exotic flowers and fabrics underscore the artist's fascination with the textures and materials of the ancient world.

Godward's work, including "With Violets Wreathed and Robe of Saffron Hue," is often grouped with that of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema and Frederic Leighton, who also specialized in scenes from antiquity. However, Godward's paintings are distinguished by their more intimate scale and the often dreamy, introspective quality of his figures.

Although Godward's popularity waned with the advent of Modernism and his style was seen as outdated by the time of his death, his work has since undergone a reevaluation. Today, paintings like "With Violets Wreathed and Robe of Saffron Hue" are appreciated for their technical skill, their evocative portrayal of an idealized past, and their place within the broader context of Victorian neoclassicism.

The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of classical beauty and the romanticized vision of ancient life that persisted into the early 20th century. It remains an important work within Godward's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and cultural significance.
