{"product_id":"elihu-vedder-the-pleiades-symbolist-art-print","title":"Elihu Vedder — The Pleiades | Symbolist Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eSeven young women sway in a circling dance across a bank of cloud, arms raised as they pass a fine looping thread between them. Six small stars glow along the thread overhead, and a seventh trails a tail of light at the lower right. The sisters wear loose chitons in grey, cream, rose and peach, several slipping from the shoulder to leave the breast bare, and a vortex of pale, iridescent vapour spirals behind them. The signature is at the lower left.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Greek myth the Pleiades were the seven daughters of Atlas and the nymph Pleione. Vedder first drew them for his 1884 Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, where the plate accompanies quatrains 34 to 36 and the sisters stand for the stars under which the astronomer-poet was born; he returned to the design for this 1885 canvas. It belongs to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a gift of George A. Hearn in 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElihu Vedder (1836–1923) was an American Symbolist painter who settled in Rome after the Civil War and lived there for most of his career. Trained in New York under Tompkins H. Matteson and in Paris under François-Édouard Picot, he painted sphinxes, sibyls and cosmic allegories, and produced fifty-five illustrations for the 1884 deluxe edition of FitzGerald's translation of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám, a publishing success. He also painted murals for the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. His work is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
