The visual retelling of a storyline in Ovid's Metamorphosis, Cadmus was turned into a serpent by an angry Zeus, leaving his lover Harmonia to find balance amidst a tragedy of epic proportions. One of the few female Pre-Raphaelite painters, De Morgan's work shows the influence of the great artists of the Renaissance, particularly Botticelli. The authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of colour, and even its brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. It is surrounded by an imported, antique gold-toned, delicately sculpted 4" wide designer resin frame with a leaf motif. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported moulding.
