John Flaxman (1755-1826) and Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) were two of the most influential artists England ever produced. Yet despite similar artistic personalities and a shared interest in a disciplined linear style of drawing, their lives and works never before have been examined together. This study focuses on these issues and clearly demonstrates that Flaxman’s engravings are an important new source for Beardsley’s art. This book is also a major contribution towards a reappraisal of the lives and works of both artists.

The Author: Daniel O. Bell received his Ph.D. in Art History from the University of Georgia in 1991. His areas of research included ancient Greek art and the Italian Baroque as well as the works of Flaxman and Beardsley. Confined to a wheelchair by hemophilia he nevertheless won numerous academic awards and published on Tiepolo and Raphael. As this book went to press, Dr. Bell died at age forty-one from a subdural brain hemorrhage.
