OIL PAINTING: The Painter's Honeymoon, c.1864
The Painter's Honeymoon placed Leighton in the Pre-Raphaelite milieu and therefore caused him to be labeled a dangerous artistic revolutionary by the Royal Academy. Leighton's affinities with the Pre-Raphaelites appear dearly in The Painter's Honeymoon , in which the soft greens of the woman's dress and the rich golden setting are consciously artistic.
