Flaming June by Lord Frederic Leighton, 1895. When researching art, Wikipedia is only usually any good for dates and locations. However, every now and again theres a snippet of information that is really quite interesting. For example here, the Oleander tree branch in the top right is a poisonous specimen and symbolises the closeness between deep sleep and death. Pretty sinister!
