Fine Art Friday!

Flaming June by Frederic Leighton 1895
Flaming June is an excellent example of the lack of respect given to Victorian art between the years 1920-70. This painting was put up for auction in the 1960s and failed to meet its reserve price of $140.
If I had only known...couple of Kool-Aid stands and little begging and it could have been mine...
