Lot description

Lucien Lévy-Dhurmer was a French artist and a leading representative of fin-de-siècle and Art Nouveau Symbolism. His works include paintings, drawings, ceramics, furniture and interior design. He was popular for his precise depiction of the details of his subject matter, which he often affected in the spirit of Pre-Raphaelite melancholy, adding a special touch. The nymph Daphne, seeking to escape the unwanted attention of the god Apollo, invoked divine powers, which turned her into laurel to escape Apollo's passion. Technique: oil on canvas, Signed: sign. lower left: LD 12
