a beautiful painting. TIA, Christine

Most books do credit the artists of both internal illustrations
and cover/jacket art. Search carefully through the endpages and
inside covers of your book. I'm sure you will find the artist's
name someplace.

IF it is the same book that I have, according to the endflap the painting
is called "The Accolade" by Edmund Blair Leighton. It is one of a Lady or
Queen
knighting a squire.
If you would like a copy of this let me know and I will scan it and sent it
to you

Leighton, if you're interested, is a Pre-Raphaelite (or slightly after).
The Pre-Raph's are from around 1860 to 1890s (early 1900s) and their work
often contains a lot of mythological/Arthurian themes. Other Pre-Raphaelites
you might
be interested in: Gabriel Rosetti, Christina Rosetti, Edward Byrne-Jones,
Ford Mattox Brown, and John William Waterhouse (one of my favorites). There
is another pre-Raph female painter, but her name has escaped me at the
moment <scuffle>. The movement
also extended into poetry and they held some tournaments (sca-type things)
etc.

The bookstores around here always have a Pre-Raphealite book or three
on their "bargain book" tables. If you are a fan of art with mythological
or legendary themes, be sure to check out some of these books or artists.
Many of these artists are also featured in calendars - you can make your
wall mythological for a whole year!

I have Bulfinch's Mythology: The Age of Fable (paperback reprint with
forward by Norma Lorre Goodrich) has a painting of a God (presumably Apollo)
playing a lyre at the base of a tree, with a panoply of sleeping animals
(leopards, lions, goats, etc.) at his feet. Does anyone know the artist?

Check the inside of the book jacket and the end/leading pages of the
book carefully. Pretty much all modern books are careful to credit
the artist. If you look hard enough, I'm sure you'll find your answer.

That's the problem, there's no credit info...

More likely Hermes than Apollo. Hermes was a sylvan, Arcadian god, and
inventor of the Lyre.
I can't help you with the artist.
