Victorian art prints bring mythological beauty

Which mythical nymphs would you like in your Victorian art prints? Invite romance into your home with graceful figures in various relaxed poses.

Victorian Classicism refers to a British movement during the last half of the 1800's to the early part of the 1900's. Victorian, of course, refers to Queen Victoria who reigned from 1837 until her death in 1901.. Classicism refers to the fact that the reference point for much of this art was Classical Greek and Roman art and architecture. The movement was highly romantic and inspired by themes that were historical as well as mythological. Frederick Leighton and Lawrence - did they call him Larry? Being a "Sir," it's doubtful - Alma-Tadema were two of the leading painters of Victorian Classicism.

Perhaps you know Victorian Classicsim art very well...looking for a specific piece. Or you may have wondered onto this page. In either case, Lady Godiva by Albert Joseph Moore will be familiar to you as might Flaming June by Frederick Leighton. These two works represent the more colorful of the movement. You will find the use of soft colors, veil-like clothing and women in various states of languid - think linguini - resting positions. By and large it is easy to find tranquil and calming images within this line.
