EDITORS COMMENTS
Una and the Lion" is a captivating work of art from the English School, created between 1783 and 1800, inspired by the renowned Neoclassical painter Angelica Kauffman. This exquisite piece showcases the legendary tale of Una and the Lion from Edmund Spenser's "The Faerie Queene," which tells the story of a noblewoman named Una who is protected by a magical lion from the evil sorcerer, Momus. The painting depicts Una, elegantly dressed in a circular, enamelled dress adorned with intricate floral patterns and a necklace of precious jewels. Her dress, reminiscent of Elizabethan fashion, is a testament to the artist's mastery of the bassetaille technique, a popular Neoclassical style that emphasizes the natural form and fluidity of the human body. Una's protective lion, with its powerful and regal presence, is depicted in copper enamel, adding a striking contrast to the delicate human figure. The lion's mane is meticulously detailed, and its piercing gaze conveys a sense of fierce loyalty and devotion. This miniature painting, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a prime example of the Neoclassical movement in art, which drew inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman art and literature. The circular composition, reminiscent of the roundel paintings of the Middle Ages, adds to the timeless quality of the artwork. The painting is now part of the esteemed collection at the Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris, a museum renowned for its exceptional holdings of 18th-century art. This masterpiece by the English School, inspired by the great Angelica Kauffman, continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and storytelling power, making it a cherished piece of heritage art and literature.
