EDITORS COMMENTS
Pictures of the Year - VI. 'The Return of Persephone': This print is a stunning interpretation of Sir Frederick Leighton's masterpiece, 'The Return of Persephone,' created in 1891. The original painting, which hangs in the National Gallery, London, is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of Victorian-era art. Sir Frederick Leighton, 1st Baron Leighton of Stretton (1830-1896), was a renowned British painter, celebrated for his figurative works and classical themes. In 'The Return of Persephone,' Leighton drew inspiration from Greek mythology, depicting the goddess Proserpine (Persephone) being reunited with her mother, Demeter, after her abduction by Hades. The emotional reunion between mother and daughter is beautifully captured in this exquisite artwork. This print, published in 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper' between July and December of 1891, offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century. The intricate details and tonal range showcase the skill of the printmaker, preserving the essence of Leighton's original painting. The print's composition is a feast for the eyes, with the ethereal figures of Persephone and Demeter set against a backdrop of lush greenery and vibrant flowers. The delicate interplay of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a captivating addition to any art collection. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a history buff, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of classic art, this print is a must-have. It serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Sir Frederick Leighton and the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
