The conflict of love and loyalty between Cornish knight Tristan and Irish princess Iseult, who had fallen in love before her betrothal to King Mark, is one of the classic tales of Western literature. Neoclassical British artist Draper showcases his dramatic flair for painting literary masterpieces in this work that focuses the viewer's eye on the heartfelt yearnings of love and loss. 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.
