Dolce far Niente is one of John William Godward’s quintessential pieces and probably one of the most exquisite Neo-classical paintings of all time. John William Godward was incredibly consistent in his style and subject matter. Dolce far Niente represents more than a crucial Neo-classical piece; it also translates the artist’s body of work significantly.
The horizontal painting shows a model lying down in the middle of a quaint courtyard. The whole palette is sweet and warm, and there is a strong resemblance of numbness and comfort in this painting. The lighting on the scene reminds us of an end of the afternoon sort of environment.
The model is looking towards the viewer, sweet and calm while lying in a comfortable position. She is lying down over some black and white wooly voluminous pelts. These furs are placed on the floor around the model, forming some cozy nest.
In front of her, there is a beautiful fan ornamented with peacock feathers. The white-skinned girl has a pitch-black hair pulled back. Still, it’s possible to see the shiny waves on it. Her eyes are equally dark. She has fair skin with rosy cheeks, and a very subtle make-up adorns the delicacy of her face.
The girl is wearing a delicate dress made of two layers of fabric. One large peach rose fabric covers her entire body, from the short sleeves to the tip of her foot. This fabric is all draped and wrinkled as if it was fragile and delicate. Around her chest, it’s possible to see some straps that hold the dress in place.
Over her waist, there is a darker and thicker fabric. We can see this style in other paintings, referring to classical couture. From the tip of her dress, her delicate feet come out, showing a leather sandal.
The courtyard has a round pond with some white flowers in it. Broad leaves and white flowers cover the mirrored effect on the water. Behind the lake, there is a heavily ornamented font made of some stone or marble.
There is vegetation all around the scene, composing a cozy and warm environment. Not only the painting is horizontal, but the display of the objects and the model are elegantly placed over the floor, communicating comfort and amenity.

Our paintings are 100% handmade by an experienced artist
Each painting is custom made and won't ship until it meets the highest degree of quality control
Experienced Artists
All our artists have at least 15 years of experience. We only hire qualified artists with advanced degrees in Fine Arts who have completed a dissertation in European or American art.
Highest Quality Materials
We only use the highest quality oil paint and finest available canvas. We insist on sourcing our materials from brands that have been in business for at least a century or more.
Quality Control
Our most senior artists, those who have at least 25 years experience, carefully examine each and every painting that comes out of our studio. No order is shipped before it meets our standards, which are the highest in the industry.
Always Hand Painted
Some companies claim to be selling handmade paintings when in fact they use printing presses and screening methods to speed-up the reproduction process and lower costs. We've been selling genuine handmade online since 2003!
Finest quality stretching, gallery wrap or framing
Purchasing without a frame
(unstreched canvas)
When purchasing a painting on its own, it will arrive rolled inside a secure tube with an extra 1.5" of white canvas on all sides so you can easily frame it in any local frame shop.
Purchasing a frame
You may choose to purchase your painting framed, in which case, it will arrive "ready to hang". We offer more than 20 beautiful models, all hand finished and expertly assembled by our experienced framers.
Note that for safety reasons we can only frame up to a certain size. Once the maximum size is reached the framing option is automatically disabled.
Purchasing a Stretching Service
If you are planning to frame your painting yourself, use an existing frame, or frame it locally, you may choose to order your painting with a stretching service, meaning that it will arrive mounted on wooden bars.
Purchasing a Gallery Wrap
If you're considering not framing your painting at all, you may opt for a Gallery Wrap. The term Gallery Wrap refers to the way the canvas is stretched, which is by wrapping it around thick stretcher bars, about 1.5 inch thick, with the canvas being secured to the back rather than the sides of those bars.
Door to door fully insured courier delivery
All orders ship with UPS, FedEx or DHL and will arrive directly to your home or office. A tracking number will be emailed to you as soon as the order leaves our studio so you can track it online. All orders ship express and usually arrive within 4-5 days from the shipping date. Due to shipping restraints, many of our framed, stretched, and oversize paintings may take 6-21 days for arrival depending on the safest route determined by the postal service.
Unframed paintings are covered with a special protective film, are gently rolled and then placed inside a strong specially designed tube.
Stretched, Gallery Wrapped and Framed paintings are covered with protective bubble wrap, separated by foam board and then carefully put into the cardboard box.
