About the Item

A statement piece in Neo-Classicism and one of Berlin's stunning "Flowers for Athena" works. Appearing in a shower of gold with powdered hues of vermillion, cadmium red and turquoise Athena's priestesses are poised to fulfil the destiny of their calling, gracing the hallowed inner sanctum of the temple. Berlin's use of the finest hand ground pigments, pure gold leaf, crushed marble and volcanic glass make this sumptuous painting possibly one of his most majestic and palatial. Intense, vivid and spiritual in execution, impact and imagery Priestess of the Flowers is a very special offering made by the Master of Neo-Classicism. Signed, verso Oil on canvas
