HERBERT DRAPER - Canvas Prints
Herbert James Draper was a British Classicist painter from London. His paintings were often centered around figures from ancient Greek mythology, but he also found inspiration from historical events. His painting entitled “The Lament for Icarus” is perhaps his best-known work, and even won the gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris. Other prominent works by Draper during this period include “By Summer Seas,” “Pearls of Aphrodite,” and “Calypso's Isle.” Later in his career, Draper shifted towards painting portraits and had moderate success.
