LADY GODIVA (Jules Lefebvre 1891)
French artist Jules Lefebvre (1836-1911) was an academic classicist and received considerable acclaim. Some of his paintings are Pre-Raphaelite in style, including this portrayal of lady Godiva riding through the empty streets of Coventy in order for her husband Leofric, the Earl of Mercia, to lower taxes.
Many hours have gone into our restoration of this painting.
12" x 8" print.
