One of his constants is the female figure, and his muse par excellence was actress Dorothy Deene, immortalized in her most famous work. Leighton is a lover of beauty, which does not prevent him from being also a complex artist. The exhibition, which is the first dedicated to the artist in America, provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the fascinating personal universe of the creator of Flaming June and enjoy the art of one of the most important artists of the nineteenth century. The Museo de Arte de Ponce exhibition F rederic Leighton and the Eternal Mediterranean featured 18 works (paintings with female figures, small oil landscapes, color sketches, and preparatory drawings for Flaming June) on loan from the Leighton House Museum in London, which were displayed along with others from the Museum’s collection to deepen Leighton’s contacts with his contemporaries. Enigmatic and evocative, the canvases of Frederic Leighton (1830–1896) revitalized the World of British Art in the last third of the 19th century with his personal interpretation of the Greco-Roman world.
