Description
A woman in a pale dress lies across marble steps while a large black dog stands over her. The bright folds of fabric contrast with the animal, the dark doorway and the richly patterned wall. Scattered flowers lead the eye down the steps.
This hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction recreates Selene by Ferdinand von Keller. Also called Selene Thrown Down by Argus, this scene comes from Georg Ebers’s novel The Emperor. Keller painted the encounter in 1886; the subject is the novel’s Selene, rather than the Greek moon goddess.
Made to order in oil on canvas. Choose from the available reproduction sizes and framing options. The complete composition is retained, with attention to the relationships between the figures, colour and light.
