Flaming June, 1895 Lord Frederick Leighton (1830-1896)

We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Lord Frederick Leighton also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 7-8 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Flaming June is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

"Flaming June" by Lord Frederick Leighton is the visual embodiment of a dream suspended in time. The woman, asleep, curled up like some languid goddess, seems to melt into the vibrant orange of her gown. That gown - it’s not just orange; it’s the burning warmth of the sun at golden hour, glowing almost too brightly against the cooler tones of her surroundings. Her skin, ivory and smooth, seems to shimmer with an almost ethereal quality, and it’s this contrast that makes her feel as though she’s both part of the fabric and somehow floating above it.

The composition is simple, yet deeply considered. The diagonal of her body, folded over in such a delicate way, is balanced by the rectangular geometry of the bench she reclines on, a soft curve of the arm flowing into the harder, clean lines behind her. Yet, it never feels stiff. The curve of her dress ripples like water - Leighton’s brushwork capturing the sheer, delicate folds of fabric with such finesse, it feels like you could reach out and touch it. And look at the choice of that orange! It dominates the palette, refusing to be ignored, while around her the colors soften into muted earth tones - the pink of the oleander flowers in the top corner, the pale marble bench, the distant sea beyond.

Leighton’s technique here is classical - a nod to the Old Masters - but he paints with the kind of fluidity that makes the scene almost surreal. The texture of the dress is hyperreal, but the woman herself? She feels like a mirage, a fleeting vision of warmth, repose, and the fragility of life’s most intimate moments.
