Claire Pettibone Spring/Summer 2013

Dutch born Victorian artist Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema painted scenes of languid beauties reminiscent of Roman deities, but his subjects are unmistakably human. Caught in a moment of relaxation or idle daydream…you can almost feel the cool marble and the warm Mediterranean sunlight.

Elements of precious embellishment, sun drenched color and effortless luxury set the stage for modern goddesses. Photo gallery below.[nggallery id=266]
