The Sleepers

The one time a figure cannot pose

The Sleepers: paintings, prints and illustrations of people asleep or dozing.

Works include Johannes Vermeer's A Maid Asleep (1657), Pieter Bruegel the Elder's The Harvesters (1565), Joaquín Sorolla's La Siesta, Félix Vallotton's The Sleep, Pierre-Auguste Renoir's Sleeping Girl, Maxfield Parrish's Daybreak (1922) and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's Armida Encounters the Sleeping Rinaldo. Pre-Raphaelite paintings by Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Arthur Rackham's illustrations of Titania and Brünnhilde, Carl Larsson's watercolours, Kitagawa Utamaro's Dreaming Beauty and a Persian miniature of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus are also included.

The selection ranges from ordinary naps in fields and kitchens to enchanted sleep in myth and fairy tale.

These calm, restful scenes suit bedrooms and nurseries, and the wider compositions hang well above a bed. All prints are museum-quality reproductions, available unframed or framed with acrylic glazing, with free shipping and import duties covered.
