1- What period are both these considered!? (classical, neoclassical,etc) and: 2-What period of art is best known for angels/greek gods/goddesses/fantasy and the like!? 3-If I enjoy Waterhouse and Tadeuma`s art, who else would I enjoy!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: they both from a group of artists from the mid 19th century that called themselves the pre-raphaelite brotherhood (i recently wrote a paper on this group so i'm pretty well versed in their philosophies and styles) they presciribed to victorian ideals of female virtures etc and their main mandate was to reject what they saw as the mannerist decay which followed the renaissance masters (eg!. raphael and michelangelo) and they incoperated the high detail and narrative styles of the flemish and italian renaissance!. as for which period is best known for mythological subject matter!.!.!.it comes and goes!.!.!.the neoclassic is a good source and so is the rococo and baroque!.!.!.but you have to look!. the 19th century was the time where the french salon flourished and a very common motif of the salon painters was mythological narratives (the pre-raphaelites were english) if you are intrested in this group then you may also like the reniaissance painter jan van eyck (who greatly influenced them), johannes vermeer, or other pre-raphaelite painters like john everett millais, william holden hunt, and rossetti!. other groups to consider who had similar philosophies would be the nazerene artists such as johann friedrich overbeck!.!.!.but i think you may also like some of james mcneil whistler's work (eg!. white series)Www@QuestionHome@Com You might like some of the paintings by Edward Burne Jones!. Google for the Tate Britain museum in London - some of the Pre-Raphaelite works are housed there (Alma Tadema has paintings there as well!.) The Victoria and Albert museum in London also have a few Alma Tadema's but I'm not sure if they are featured on their website!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Do yourself a favor and go to Wikipedia and put in each artist name and you will find ALL you want to know about each with links for more information!.
