1885 Oil Painting, Ottoman Garden a Pre-Raphaelite Woman Gold Gilt Frame 60"x40"

Description: 1885 Oil Painting, Ottoman Garden a Pre-Raphaelite Woman Gold Gilt Frame 60"x40" The pre-Raphaelite portrait of a well-dressed young, affluent woman in an Ottoman Garden. Note the columned building to the top right and the palm frond in the foreground. The painting, signed on the reverse by an unknown artist, is a fascinating moment from 1885. Includes the hanging hardware attached to the frame back. The oil painting canvas has mild damage above the palm frond, and the guilt frame edges lightly damage this 139-year-old portrait. Overall, it was a fun and exciting moment for this intriguing lady. We see similar pre-Raphaelite paintings on 1st Dibs for $2000-$5000 Measurements: 60 inches tall40 inches wide3 inches deep. Background:The Ottoman Empire, also called the Turkish Empire, was an imperial realm that controlled much of Southeast Europe, West Asia, and North Africa from the 14th to early 20th centuries; it also controlled parts of southeastern Central Europe, between the early 16th and early 18th centuries Summary of The Pre-RaphaelitesThe Pre-Raphaelites opposed the dominance of the British Royal Academy, which championed a narrow range of idealized or moral subjects and conventional definitions of beauty drawn from the early Italian Renaissance and Classical art. In contrast, the Pre-Raphaelites took inspiration from an earlier (pre-Raphaelite - before the artist Raphael) period, that is, the centuries preceding the High Renaissance. They believed painters before the Renaissance provided a model for depicting nature and the human body realistically, rather than idealistically, and that collective guilds of medieval craftspeople offered an alternative vision of artistic community to mid-19th-century academic approaches.
