INSPIRATION
OF THE MONTH

 

LORD FREDERIC LEIGHTON

VICTORIAN ERA B. 1830 D. 1896
 

Known For: It is considered to be Leighton’s masterpiece that showcases his natural tendency towards depicting the traditional structure. Albeit hard to know with certainty, it is guessed that the woman pictured is an allusion to the Ancient Greek sculpture art where the subjects are sometimes known to be nymphs of water and sleep. The poison ivy that was positioned on the upper right side symbolizes the delicate bond between sleep and death.

Signature Style: Light and free transparent orange dress, natural posture ...

Eye-opening Information: The Flaming June was purchased by a Polish framer in London for a mere 50 pounds. From there the governor of Puerto Rico bought the Flaming June for $ 1,000. Lastly, after an auction, it was purchased by the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Ponce, Puerto Rico, where it currently resides.

 

WHY WE LOVE HER

 

His aim was to be the Michelangelo of the Romantic and Academic Art Period (1800 - 1900), a goal now considered to be achieved by him. He was influenced by Michelangelo and various French and Italian masters. He was the first painter to receive the title of Lord.

BLOOM

 

BRAND KENNETH COBONPUE
‘BLOOM’ CHAIR 105 x 98 x 87

Kenneth Cobonpue, delicately hand crafted hundreds of seams spreading from its center woven to its base made out of microfiber steel, is a fine showcase of Bloom's sophisticated design morphed into a powerful form.

The idea was to design a chair that would be fresh and vibrant, providing energy to wherever it is placed. The inspiration was barrowed from grand yet graceful flowers and thus Bloom was born.

With Bloom, Kenneth Cobonpue invites us to Lord Frederic Leighton's June Fire Picture.
