The Art of Paul Woodroffe

 

Paul Woodroffe (1875-1954) is an English artists associated with the Golden Age of

Illustration.

 

The Paul Woodroffe Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Woodroffe's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided

for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

 

Woodroffe's illustrations are characterised by a stunning blend of line, form and colour typical of the Pre-Raphaelites and an Art Nouveau aesthete. Many of his characters are reminiscent of the marbles of Roman and Greek antiquity, but imbibed with a quite

other-worldly quality. The colours he uses are rich and the images powerful.

 

While Woodroffe's work for The Tempest may rank as among his most accomplished, he

had a prolific career as an illustrator for children's books, including: Beauty and the Beast; Cinderella; Goldilocks and the Three Bears; Jack and the Beanstalk; Little Red Riding Hood; Puss in Boots; and Sleeping Beauty.
