Description
Septimia Zenobia, the queen and regent of the Palmyrene Empire in Syria, transformed her realm bringing wealth and culture to all city dwellers as she took on Rome. Conquering Egypt and capturing Roman provinces, Schmalz's fanciful interpretation of Queen Zenobia portrays her eventual defeat by the Roman Emperor, Aurelian, as she surveys her great kingdom one last time. Influenced by Pre-Raphaelite artists and harboring a love of history, classic tales, legends and myths. Neoclassical artist Schmalz was considered by the Victorians as an Impressionist while he specialized in portraits and exotic subject matter. 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.
