The Poem of the Soul Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Large

By artist Louis Janmot (1814-1892), in the Museum of Beau Arts, Lyon, France

One of an eighteen part series depicting the story of Janmot's poem, "The Soul" follows the life of a new soul on earth. Each painting portrays the passing of time, this rendition "sunrays" presents a joyful celebration of female unity and platonic love in a group of sisters and friends revealing in the love of life. As a French artist Janmot, with his love of nature excelled at romantic scenes and classic realism, lived most of his life in Lyon while studying in Paris and Rome, and exhibiting at the Salon de Paris. Janmot was seen as a French part of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood but slowly transitioned into Romanticism and Symbolism, the series of "Poem of the Soul" is considered his most significant work. 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. With bas-relief organic styling, the multi-tiered, replica European style 3.25" wide frame is cast in quality designer resin and highlighted with an aged gold-toned finish.
