So inspired by seeing the Roman nude sculpture known as the Esquiline Venus for the first time, British artist Poynter fleshed out his idyllic beauty in a sumptuous court, tying her hair up before her spa bath. Labeled indecent by society patrons of its day, the work was defended by its artist who claimed the forced introduction of drapery would be a prudery which would increase evil. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. The imported, delicately sculpted designer resin frame boasts a delicate leaf motif with fine feathered detailing finished in antique gold tones.

Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.

  • About The Artist

      Sir Edward John Poynter (1836-1919 )
      For much of his artistic life Sir Edward Poynter the neo-classical painter lived under the shadow of Lord Leighton and as a result his work was unjustly neglected.

      Edward Poynter was born in Paris the son of an architect and after being educated at Westminster and Ipswich Grammar School he went to Rome where he met Leighton. Having decided to take up art as a career as a direct result of meeting Leighton he studied in Paris under Gleyre who had been a penniless artist before he opened an atelier when he rapidly became a famous teacher.

      In 1859 Poynter returned to London and for the next few years struggled to make a living from his painting with indifferent results. He desperately needed the RA to take one of his pictures in order to establish his name. Eventually Faithful Until Death was accepted by the RA in 1865. This picture which shows a Roman soldier doggedly remaining at his post during the destruction of Pompeii was a great success and still remains Poynter's most famous work. This was followed by The Catapault and Atlanta's Race. Among his famous paintings are The Fortune Teller and The Meeting between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
