The studio of Lord Frederic Leighton displaying recently completed works including 'Flaming June' and The Maid with the Golden Hair'. Leighton was loosely associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

Thank you for the reminder.

Leighton House is always a show stopper, particularly because of the external and especially internal architecture. Alas we tend to miss the stunning paintings.

I was just so pleased to find these posed but fascinating photographs. So many important artists lived in the area too or visited regularly.
