This vivid image of a Valkyrie from Norse mythology chooses to fly into battle straddling the world between life and afterlife as a guide to Valhalla for fallen Viking warriors. This strange, seductive scene depicts a nubile rider grasping the great black wings of her flying steed shimmering in the moonlight mysterious and otherworldly amid the play of contrasting shapes, space and light and shadows created with gouache and pastels. “Dream Idyll” is considered his tour de force of execution. English artist Hughes attended the Royal Academy School he also worked as a studio assistant to Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood founding member William Hunt. His own work was in Aestheticism, worked in watercolors and oils using romantic interpretations of old myths, tales and legends.

Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image.
