Experience Art
Visit the Royal Academy of Art for this introductory talk as Frederic Leighton’s iconic painting, Flaming June, comes home to this wonderful venue in London.
Frederic, Lord Leighton was a leading Victorian artist and President of the Royal Academy from 1878 to 1896. Flaming June was part of his final submission to the Summer Exhibition in 1895. The painting is a dazzling example of Leighton’s use of colour, line and composition and it quickly became one of the most recognised and reproduced images in British Art.
Senior Curator of Collections, Dr Hannah Higham, will discuss the importance of the painting, which is on loan from the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico. A wonderful experience for art lovers!
