Flaming June
1895
Oil on Canvas
Flaming June is a painting by Sir Frederic Leighton, it is widely considered to be Leighton's magnum opus, showing his classicist nature.
Flaming June has become his most recognisable picture. The transparent material worn by the sleeping woman – through which her right nipple can be seen clearly – is typical of his artistic predilections, as are the stunningly rich colours and the perfectly recreated marble surround. Natural light too is a constant preoccupation for Leighton, and he allows the sunset in the background to appear as molten gold.
