Toscano 36x48.5 andromeda 1869 nr, DA2284

This item is non-returnable unless damaged.

In rich colors and contrasting light and shadow, Poynter tells the tale of Andromeda, chained to a rock as sacrifice to a sea monster, only to be rescued by the hero Perseus who falls in love with her evident beauty. While frowning on nudity in art, Victorian patrons allowed artists wide breadth to paint the female figure without condemnation of impropriety because the mythological Greek tales were so beloved. Poynter exhibited to acclaim at the Royal Academy. Our authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of color, and even its brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. It is surrounded by our imported, antique gold-toned, delicately sculpted 4" wide designer resin frame with a leaf motif. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding. Grande: 36"Wx48.5"H framed (28.5"Wx41"H image size, 4"W frame), 11 lbs.
