Looking for a symbolist painting
I'm looking for a the name of a painting and the name of the artist, in order to find the picture. I'm pretty sure it can be described as symbolist. The picture shows the upper half of a small greek archaic Kore or girl statue, polychromy (in many colours, not white). The background is mountains. The kore is small and in the lower half of the picture. The title may have been something lite 'ancient terror' (nothing on google...)
Thank you for your help  |

Painting Terror Antiquus by Leon Bakst
The painting is Terror Antiquus by Russian illustrator Leon Bakst (1866-1924) It was painted in around 1908.
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/bakst_leon.html Artcyclopedia has info on Bakst, but I don't think they have a link to the painting; if not, you can see it on Wiki. |
