Description
Description
Frederick Sandys brings the story of Medea close enough to see a hand tightening around red coral and another tipping a small vessel above a flame. A gold background surrounds the pale face, while a ship, patterned ornaments and a crowded work surface connect private emotion with the larger myth of Jason and the Golden Fleece.
Painted between 1866 and 1868, the original is an oil painting on panel with a gilded background in Birmingham. The scene concerns Medea preparing the destructive gift for the woman Jason intends to marry. The expression remains searching and troubled, while the carefully placed bowls, shell and toads give the ritual an unusually tangible presence.
Your reproduction is painted to order by hand in oil on canvas. The original work may have been painted on a different support; the medium of the original is listed separately so that the historical object and the new canvas reproduction remain clear. Choose an available size that keeps the composition in proportion, then select the presentation and framing option that suits your space.
Oil paint gives the reproduced image a physical surface with brushwork and changes of tone built in layers. The aim is to preserve the relationships that make the composition recognisable, including its arrangement of figures, important objects and balance of light and dark. It is a newly painted interpretation of the historical work, rather than a printed canvas or a mechanical transfer.
