Description
Ariadne was the maiden daughter of King Minos of Crete who fell in love with Theseus and gave him the sword and ball of string to help him defeat the Minotaur. Before the handsome hero makes an appearance the resplendent beauty lounges idly, the sensual Mediterranean in the background contrasts with azure blue sea and the hint of what she is capable of is shown in the red of her dress and poppies that represent passion, blood and her courage. One of the most well known of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, English artist John William Waterhouse painted dreamy, highly erotic, mythological inspired works and romantic women from stories, myths and legends. 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.
