A-England - Leighton's Nymphs Collection - Lachrymae

Arcane violet
A blend of cool purples, grey, browns and gold that glows with a blazing prismatic hologram.
Named after the Latin word for tears, at first glance this Frederic Leighton painting appears to simply show a woman leaning against a column.
However, look a little closer and you’ll see how every detail speaks of death and immortality: the cool colours; the fading sunset; the cypress trees (death)
juxtaposed against the laurel bushes (immortality). This magni fi cent work speaks to the fact that memories of loved ones will stay alive and not be forgotten
