" The Source " by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

Mesmerized by the steady, smouldering gaze of the lush young woman muse in La Sorgente, we barely notice the urgency of the water gushing from the rounded clay urn balanced on her shoulder. She is a "symbolic unity of woman and nature." Epitomizing Neoclassical Frenchmen Ingres' deeply sensuous elegance, this work exhibits his magnetic use of colour, form and style and has been described by some as "the most beautiful figure in French painting." The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. This replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
