EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edwin Longsden's masterpiece, "Loves Labour Lost" painted in 1889. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 127x191 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Long's son, Maurice St. Clair, beautifully described the painting with the verse: "Like an opening bud, the flower of youth. . ". This poetic line perfectly captures the essence of this stunning piece. The image depicts a scene set in ancient Egypt, where we see a noblewoman surrounded by musicians and servants. The orientalist theme adds an air of mystery and exoticism to the composition. Intriguingly, the central figure appears to be playing music while reciting poetry or perhaps engaging in courtly conversation. Her elegance and grace are emphasized by her elaborate attire and regal posture. Long's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting; every brushstroke brings life to each character portrayed. The colors are rich and vibrant, creating a visually striking tableau that transports viewers back in time. "Loves Labour Lost" not only showcases Long's exceptional talent as an artist but also serves as a testament to his ability to capture historical moments with authenticity and beauty. This print from Bridgeman Images allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate this remarkable work without limitations or commercial constraints.
