Flaming June by Lord Frederic Leighton

Flaming June is a painting by Lord Frederic Leighton, produced in 1895. Painted with oil paints on a 47" x 47" square canvas, it is widely considered to be Leighton's magnum opus, showing his classicist nature. It is thought that the woman portrayed alludes to the figures of sleeping nymphs and naiads the Greeks often sculpted. The (toxic) Oleander branch in the top right, symbolises the fragile link between sleep and death.
This picture is framed with solid wooden which is 8cms in width. The unusal thing abouth this Flaming June is that it is printed on some form of tin which you would never notice unless you were close to it and touched it.
