By artist Frederic Leighton (1830-1896), in a Private Collection
Item# FAM-DA2191
$150.00 – $450.00
With unmistakable allure, an idyllic beauty sensuously leans her curvaceous form into a young fisherman who has unwittingly crashed his ship against the rocks while answering her siren call. English painter and sculptor Sir Frederic Leighton shows his mastery of light and color, also evidenced by his many awards including the Prix de Rome and the French Legion d'Honneur. 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 carved hardwood frame boasts a delicate leaf motif with fine feathered detailing finished in antique gold tones.

About The Artist
Lord Frederic Leighton (1830-1896)
Lord Frederic Leighton the undisputed figurehead of the Victorian classical school of painting was an English painter and sculptor. Leighton painted mythological Biblical and historical subjects in the style that established his reputation in England an in art history. Leighton loved the rich colors of the Spanish and Egyptian landscapes and he painted much in those countries.
Leighton began his art studies at the age of ten in Rome and traveled all over Europe studying the masters and gaining firsthand knowledge of the cultural and artistic treasures. Unlike most major 19th-century artists Leighton did not attend the Royal Academy. In 1855 Leighton's painting Cimbue's Madonna Carried in Procession through the Streets of Florence was exhibited at the Royal Academy and later purchased by Queen Victoria. This was the commencement of a glittering career and lasting fame.
In the late 19th-century an interest in Hellenism led Leighton away from historical paintings and to mythological paintings during a time when Greek fashion allowed women a freedom of movement and lifestyle. Leighton's paintings such as Flaming June soon became the talk of London.
