 Orpheus and Euridice by George Frederick Watts RA (1817-1904)
Watts's Neo-Classicism is seen in his 'Caractacus led in Triumph through the Streets of Rome' (fragments in the Victoria and Albert Museum, a small version exhibited Victorian High Renaissance, number 1) with which, in 1843, he won a competition concerned with the decoration of the new Houses of Parliament building in London.
The picture represents a late phase of the Neo-Classical movement in which the style is as much Renaissance as Classical, but it has all the key Neo-Classical characteristics: clarity of design, a grand, generalised style, rhetorical gestures and expressions and an heroic subject, concerned with public virtue.
Readers should consult the website of Peter Nahum at the Leicester Galleries to obtain information about recent exhibitions and to order their catalogues.
