Academician / American / Eakins / Greco-Roman / Paintings (Reproductions) - 1 year ago - troycapc
A reproduction of Thomas Eakins’s masterpiece, “Arcadia” of about 1883. This is a stylized rustic reverie based on the romanticized notion of Arcadia, the most rural part of Ancient Greece. Like several other works by Eakins, this piece was controversial in those Victorian times. The original is in the Metropolitan Museum o f Art, New York.
