Oil paintings in the picture library
Looking through a western classic oil painting album in the university library, I was surprised by one oil painting, which was Goddess Athena by Geweide.

In the picture, Athena's exquisite facial features exude unparalleled beauty, her black eyes and generate are dazzling, and her plump and tall figure vividly shows the unique curvaceous figure and youthful skin of young women. The goddess Athena marveled at the appearance and shape of heaven and man, showing an unparalleled image of the goddess. This is the most beautiful western oil painting that I have ever seen depicting the goddess Athena.

John williams Gvero (186 1- 1922) was the most famous aesthetical realist painter in Victorian England and an important representative of neoclassicism.

As the most loyal followers of Raphael and giorgione, the master of classical aesthetic realism, Geweide has been unswervingly pursuing the artistic concept of aesthetic realism all his life. Ge Weide is best at depicting female characters and female body oil paintings. Most of the women in his paintings are white and beautiful, with bright smiles, plump figures and gorgeous costumes, showing the temperament of a goddess. Among them, Athena's series of oil paintings are the most famous.

Gorgeous, noble and dazzling is a major feature of Ge Weide's oil paintings, and it is also an important reason why Ge Weide's oil paintings are liked by people. But not only that, there is also a bright spot in Ge Weide's oil paintings, which is the extreme depiction of marble and women's clothes. In Geweide's oil paintings, marble is like living in front of your eyes, and every wrinkle on a woman's dress and skirt is clearly discernible. People have to admire the painter's meticulous observation and superb painting skills.

Among the famous neo-classical aesthetic realistic painting masters from19th century to the beginning of 20th century, if Anger's aestheticism is embodied in elegance and solemnity, and bouguereau's aestheticism is embodied in ultimate ideal, then Geweide's aestheticism is embodied in magnificence. Geweide's Goddess of Athena has amazed countless people.

Some people say that Geweide is the bouguereau of Britain. I agree with this view. Geweide is another important representative and master of western classical aesthetic realistic oil painting after bouguereau.

Ge Weide showed the elegance, charm and charm of women. All kinds of exquisite oil paintings were sought after by people for a time, and he once enjoyed the aura and glory of the master. However, because he has never changed his painting style, he is obsessed with the deliberate and even exaggerated description of women's clothes and marble, and has also been criticized by critics. Especially in the early 20th century, impressionist oil painting was in the ascendant, abstract oil painting rose, and realistic oil painting once declined. At this time, Geweide was still "ignorant of the times" and still stubbornly adhered to his own inherent creative ideas and styles. It is conceivable that at this time, his criticism has turned into an upside-down attack.

Ge Weide's artistic career suffered an unprecedented blow. His oil paintings plummeted, from being sought after to being left out. Ge Weide tried to change himself from his initial dissatisfaction, but found that his long-term artistic concept and style could not be changed, or even changed. Geweide felt abandoned. He struggled, he suffered, he suffered, he was depressed.

1922 One day in May, Geweide sat in the studio for a long time after painting the last human oil painting in his life, The Girl on the Beach. More than two hours later, he shot himself. This year, Ge Weide is 6 1 year old.
