Description
English artist Lord Frederic Leighton was best known for his body of work depicting historical, biblical and classical scenes. During his teenage years, he studied under Eduard von Steinle and Giovanni Costa and then went onto study at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence. A hallmark of Leighton’s work is a sense of classical eroticism, and his Fisherman and the Syren exemplifies that. Exhibited at the Royal Gallery in 1858, this work was marked by a poem by Goethe, which read “Half drew she him, half sunk he in, and never more was seen.” This exquisite and mysterious Leighton reproduction would make the perfect addition to any gallery-inspired living space. Our reproduction oil painting has been painstakingly recreated detail by detail to honor each one of Leighton’s original brushstrokes. It has been crafted by hand using oil paintings on artist-grade canvas, and no two are exactly alike. This high-quality reproduction of The Fisherman and the Syren includes free shipping and an easy 45-day return policy from overstockArt. It can be custom-framed to your liking using premium-quality frames.
