Arthur Augustus Dixon painting

This tender painting is by Arthur Augustus Dixon, a great English artist who lived between the late 19th century and early 20th century.

This painting is extremely rare for its subject, period, and style.

Everything in this painting, from the style to colors, reminds us of the works of artists such as John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and Edward Burne-Jones.

From gracious princesses in iridescent robes to biblical scenes and knights in shining armor, Arthur Dixon’s artistic mark was always at extraordinary levels.

He painted many romantic and poetic scenes without slipping into sentimentality or conventionalism.

As our painting beautifully shows, he managed to represent motherly love with a perfect balance through a painting technique that was very soft but always clear.

This work is offered in ready to hang gallery condition, having been professionally cleaned, restored and revarnished.
