Sappho and Phaon Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Medium

By artist Jacques-Louis David (1748-1825), in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg

Phaon was said to be so beautiful that even the Greek poetess Sappho fell in love with him. Count Nikolai Yusupov commissioned this fine work complete with kneeling Cupid and a scroll of verses to love's enchantment. French artist David avoids narrative in this Neoclassical work, preferring to concentrate on ideal beauty and clarity of form. 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 exclusively for Design Toscano. Our 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.
