"With Violets Wreathed and Robe of Saffron Hue" is an oil painting by the English artist John William Godward, created in 1902 during the period known as the Belle Époque. Godward, a painter associated with the Neo-Classical movement, was renowned for his depictions of classical antiquity, often focusing on young women set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean landscape. This painting is a quintessential example of his work, showcasing his meticulous attention to detail, his use of rich color, and his ability to convey the textures of fabrics and floral adornments.

The title of the painting is derived from a line in the poem "Sappho" by the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, which reflects the romantic and idealized vision of ancient Greece that was popular among artists and intellectuals of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In "With Violets Wreathed and Robe of Saffron Hue," Godward presents a solitary female figure, draped in a flowing saffron-colored robe, her head adorned with a wreath of violets. The subject is typically engaged in a contemplative or leisurely activity, such as reading or resting, which was a common theme in Godward's work.

The painting is emblematic of Godward's style, characterized by its serene composition, the smooth rendering of flesh, and the intricate representation of marble and stone, which he studied extensively to achieve a high degree of realism. His works are often noted for their sense of calm and their escapist qualities, transporting viewers to an idealized, eternal world of beauty and tranquility.

"With Violets Wreathed and Robe of Saffron Hue" is part of Godward's significant body of work that contributed to the Neo-Classicism movement, which sought to revive the classical art forms and aesthetics of ancient Greece and Rome. Despite the fact that Godward's popularity waned with the advent of Modernism, his paintings have since experienced a resurgence in interest and are now appreciated for their technical skill and their evocative portrayal of an idyllic past. The painting remains an important example of Godward's artistic legacy and is held in high regard by collectors and enthusiasts of Neo-Classical art.
