Flaming June" Frederic Lord Leighton Print on Poster Board

Unavailable
Flaming June was painted in 1895 by Frederic Lord Leighton (1830-1896) and has become one of his most recognizable oil paintings. This is a print of Flaming June mounted on poster board and measures 27.50” H X 27.00” W. The painting was originally intended to adorn a marble bath in one of Leighton’s other works, Summer Slumber, however he became so attached to the design that he decided to create it as a painting in its own right. Flaming June captures the mood, color and physical beauty that were predominant in his work.

Frederic Lord Leighton was a leader of the Victorian classical school of painting and received his training in Brussels, Paris and Frankfurt. He originally painted historical paintings, however he turned to painting mythological subjects in the late 1860’s. The timing coincided with the public’s sudden interest in Hellenism thus popularizing his mythological paintings.
