Revered for brave battle in the Trojan War, Patrocles is immortalized here by prosperous Parisian painter David, the strongest influence in French art of the early 19th century. Artist David avoids narrative in this Neoclassical work, preferring to concentrate on ideal beauty and clarity of form. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. The 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. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
