The Golden Bowl

Artist: Frank Cadogan Cowper (English, 1877-1958)

Date: 1955

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Private Collection

Description

The Golden Bowl represents the last flowering of Pre-Raphaelitism, painted well into the twentieth century in 1955 almost a hundred years after Rossetti had painted similar luscious depictions of exotically attired maidens in richly ornamented costumes. Here, an un-named maiden of an renaissance-type holds aloft a bowl of votive fruit, inviting the beholder to take one from her.

Pre-Raphaelite pioneer John Everett Millais was born on this date (6/8) in 1829. In addition to his influential paintings, Millais also did wood engravings. On the left, “Two Fair Maidens”, 1887. On the right, “Practicing the Piano”, 1860.
