Sir Fredric Leighton painted the original Flaming June in 1895. It is a classical home decor work and is considered to be Leighton’s Magnum Opus. The sleeping figure is meant to evoke Classical Greek sculptures of sleeping nymphs and naiads, though her gold-brown hair and orange silks evoke flame rather than water. The flame motif is continued through the sunlight reflecting off the sea behind the sleeping figure which fits perfectly for any bedroom wall art. Classicist Design.
The picture speaks for itself. Very high quality tapestry, I absolutely love it. I placed it in my reading corner and its perfect there (if I do say so myself!).. Bernadette. Ireland. Fri Apr 12 2024
