John William Waterhouse is most famous for his Arthurian-themed works, but he painted scenes and characters from Greek mythology as well.

My favorites are Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta. Their renditions of the gods/goddesses are truly unique and inspiring. They've drawn and painted MANY deities from Greek, Roman, Norse and Egyptian pantheons for many years and each one is truly awe inspiring.

Answer 4

The Symbolist painters especially, and maybe the Art Nouveau period.
