At the end of the famous balcony scene, Shakespeare's Romeo says to his Juliet, "Farewell, farewell, one kiss and I'll descend." Bathed in the sunset's glow, Juliet in her linen chemise bestows a passionate kiss on brave Romeo cloaked in red for love. Voted Britain's most romantic artwork, Dicksee's detailed tale of eternal love, and longing evoke feeling while passion flowers climb up the white column evoking desire. As a portraitist, Victorian Frank Dicksee exhibited at the Royal Academy and was particularly renowned for his series of oil paintings of Shakespearean characters. Considered a Pre-Raphaelite painter in style and technique, Dicksee painted elegant society portraits as well as biblical, literary and historical figures. He served as leader of the Royal Academy and was knighted in 1925. 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. This replica, 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.
This is incredible. Romantic, Euro, and well done. Stunning piece!!!. Michael. Oceanside, CA. Sat Aug 29 2026
