Born in England in 1841, Albert Moore was an intellectual painter of Aestheticism who pursued 'Art for art's sake' to its absolute limits, celebrating existence solely for its beauty.
What he captured on canvas were women adorned in beautiful drapery, reclining languidly or in comfortable slumber within luxurious classical realms. Fusing the graceful physical beauty reminiscent of Greek sculpture with the geometric, flat ornateness inspired by Japanese art, his compositions orchestrate a beautiful harmony akin to a perfectly calculated, quiet musical score.
This narrative-free style, pursuing pure visual delight, brings blissful tranquility and a timeless, luxurious slumber to the busy modern everyday, elevating any room into an exquisite salon space.
