“They gazed at each other—he wondering what golden Madonna had appeared to him, she marveling at the power and radiance of his presence.” Pre-Raphaelite in style yet medieval in tone, the intense, locked gaze between Leyendecker’s Sir Ridolfo and Lady Gismonda evokes an almost tangible sense of longing that transcends time. Taken from Egerton R. Williams’ 1906 book by the same name, the epic of Ridolfo is one of high adventures, kingship and, of course, romance. In addition to the lingering essence of what can only be described as “love at first sight,” our authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting’s texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. Our imported, darkly burnished, gold-toned hardwood from with leaf motif includes a solid brass museum plate etched with the title and artist’s name.
