EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece titled "Roman Mother" by Frederic Leighton, a renowned artist of the 19th century. Painted in 1867 with oil on canvas, this remarkable artwork measures 82.9x69.5 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Leighton House Museum in Kensington & Chelsea, London. Leighton's artistic brilliance shines through as he skillfully captures the essence of motherhood in this portrait. The Roman Mother gazes directly into our eyes, her piercing stare conveying a sense of strength and tenderness simultaneously. Her vibrant earring and jewel-adorned necklace add a touch of opulence to her attire, while also symbolizing her status within society. The painting belongs to the Pre-Raphaelites art movement that sought inspiration from medieval art forms and emphasized meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors. Leighton's mastery over color is evident here as he employs rich hues to bring life to every brushstroke. As we delve into this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to Victorian-era England (1837-1901), where societal norms dictated women's roles primarily as mothers and wives. Through his portrayal of this Roman Mother, Leighton challenges these conventions by presenting her as an individual with depth and complexity beyond just her maternal identity. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this timeless piece for us all to appreciate its beauty and significance today. Let us immerse ourselves in the world created by Leighton - a world where art transcends time and space, touching our souls with its profound depiction of womanhood during an era long gone but never forgotten.
