Victorian Art in Britain

 An Alfresco Toilette by Sir Luke Fildes

 


During his career Fildes went through a number of phases, initially becoming known as a social realism painter, then like this painting, his idealised Venetian phase, and ultimately working mainly as a portraitist. This painting, painted in 1887-9, is quite simply decorative and beautiful.
