Saphos Queen Of Lesbos by Sax Berlin

Description

Wonderful painting by the well collected British Artist: Sax Berlin

Oil with Silver and Gold Leaf


Lyric poet Sappho was born on the Greek island of Lesbos sometime in the 600's BC, although little is certain about her life and much of her poetry is lost to us her reputation, originally established by the Alexandrians remains. This oil and silver leaf depiction of her by Berlin give Sappho a regal appearance and one could imagine her recitals with a Mediterranean backdrop and lyre accompanist. Highly classical in execution and with an exceptional use of pigment and precious metal our poet truly becomes a Queen in the hands of Modern Master Berlin. This amazing painting literally glows and fires with changes in the light as if she were illuminated by ancient lamplight.
