John Melhuish Strudwick In the golden days CC1049 Postcard

John Melhuish Strudwick (1849-1937) In the golden days. John Melhuish Strudwick was a Pre-Raphaelite painter of the Victorian era. He was inspired by Edward Burne-Jones and also worked as his studio assistant in the 1870s. Another source of inspiration was the lapidary technique from the Italian quattrocento. His paintings were done in a blend of Renaissance and mediaeval styles, with meticulous attention to detail, especially in his treatment of draperies and accessories, leading to a very small output. He employed rich, deep colours. This painting shows three beautiful young women that are making music together. To personalise, please click the Customise button and use the design editor.
