Polychrome relief. June. (104x76m)

Description

Moulded alabaster bas-relief. Oil polychrome. Old patina.

Despite the familiarity of this colourful work “Flaming June”, this sculptural relief takes advantage of the varied range of colours in moulded alabaster. Frederic Leighton (1830-1896), a British painter, reveals a laborious style that gives his works the coldness of marble.
