Aurora, Roman goddess of the dawn, throws wide the shining doors of morning, the discarded roses at her feet belying her inexhaustible passion. The Victorian sensibilities of the artist's contemporaries were disturbed as they easily identified Draper's extraordinarily sexualized figure as a popular model of the day, Florrie Bird. Though Draper's largely female figures were not popular in the artistic circle of his day, his skill is recognized in our time. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
Beautiful, just beautiful. My husband had been wanting this piece of art to add a touch of classical beauty to the bedroom. He was spot on! The colors are soft and elegant and the perfect stroke of the paintbrush makes this painting seem real. What a fun element of surprise to a bedroom.. Tarra. Odessa, FL. Tue Jun 11 2019
