EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Una and the Lion" a mesmerizing oil on canvas painting created by Briton Riviere in 1880. The artwork, measuring 106.7x152.4 cm, is part of a private collection and beautifully captures a scene from Edmund Spenser's renowned poem, "The Faerie Queene". In this enchanting image, Una, the virtuous maiden representing truth and purity, fearlessly stands beside a majestic lion. The artist skillfully depicts their unique bond as they stand amidst lush greenery with an air of tranquility surrounding them. Riviere's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully portrays the softness of Una's flowing gown and the strength emanating from the lion's powerful physique. The composition exudes harmony and balance while evoking a sense of wonderment. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into Spenser's fantastical world where mythical creatures roam freely alongside humans. It invites us to ponder themes such as bravery, loyalty, and the triumph of good over evil. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate Riviere's exceptional talent even today when it is out of copyright restrictions. Its presence serves as a reminder that great works endure through time and continue to inspire generations with their timeless beauty.
