Sappho and Youth
Oil on canvas.
H_61 cm W_50 cm
In its original ornate frame.
Our painting, likely depicting the famous Greek poetess Sappho, is part of an artistic movement that was particularly in vogue in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Depicted holding a young nude woman in her arms, this work reminds us that Sappho was the first woman to express an attraction to other women in her writing. She inspired Symbolist painters, as evidenced by the numerous works dedicated to her by Gustave Moreau.
