I've seen this in person. It's such a beautiful piece! Note the details in the background and the 3D perspective of the frame. Easy to miss but when you focus, you see great thought and detail that goes into the piece.
I'm not any kind of art aficionado or knowledgeable or even an appreciating personfor that matter. I have visited several museums in the Philippines with artwork and culture on display and haven't seen anything quite like this. It's great news that this hasn't been lost and can be appreciated again.
"Hymen oh Hymenee!" a painting of a Roman wedding.
It looks to me something like Alma-Tadema's work.
wow, that painter's life was crazy.
