John William Godward (9 August 1861 - 13 December 1922) was an English painter from the end of the Pre-Raphaelite / Neo-Classicist era.
He was a protege of Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema but his style of painting fell out of favour with the arrival of painters like Picasso. He committed suicide at the age of 61 and is said to have written in his suicide note that "the world was not big enough" for him and a Picasso.

His already estranged family, who had disapproved of him becoming an artist, were ashamed of his suicide and burned his papers. No photographs of Godward are known to survive.

Good morning - Goatherd with Her Flock
Ernest Bieler (Swiss, 1863-1948)
Goatherd with Her Flock
Attachment 13958
At the turn of the century, Ernest Biéler was practising two styles of painting at once and, consequently, pursuing virtually two careers: one closer to his heart, tending toward Realism, and the other based on status-seeking within the Symbolist movement. Ernest Biéler's Realism was based on love for his country... In the 1890s, Modernism meant rejecting Realism in favour of a more spiritual art which, at its most colourful and decorative, became Art Nouveau. Ernest Biéler resisted Internationalism and Symbolism, which gradually disappeared from his painting. But he remained ambivalent about them for years. Torn between the two painting styles ... he ended up practising both. His contemporaries .. asked him whether he was an idealist or a realist. "An artist can aspire to be both," Ernest Biéler replied. "One does not exclude the other. ..National sentiment is not irrelevant to art."
It is worth noting that Ernest Biéler's idealism was profoundly influenced by what he called "decoration", the term used by Mauris Denis in 1890 in his Theories.
