This is a reproduction of the 1837 masterpiece by Hippolyte Flandrin. He painted this iconic work while in Rome studying there having won the Prix de Rome in Paris in 1832. The emperor Napoleon III bought the painting in 1857. The painting has brought forth commentary and ideas from most art critics since it appeared. It is Flandrin's most famous work even though executed early in his career. He was twenty-eight when this was completed and he died twenty-seven years later. The work is currently at Louvre.If you are interested in commissioning an oil painting on canvas of this art print, please send me an email attroy@trycap.com.
