Hypatia Print, Julius Kronberg 1889 Library of Alexandria Wall Art, Greek Philosopher Painting
Item highlights
Seller's description
She looks up from her scroll, as if she has heard footsteps on the stair.
A fine art print of Hypatia by Julius Kronberg, library wall art for a dark academia study.
ABOUT THE PAINTING
Julius Kronberg painted Hypatia in 1889. Hypatia of Alexandria was a philosopher, mathematician and astronomer, the most famous woman scholar of the ancient world. She taught in Alexandria around the year 400 and was killed by a mob in 415. Kronberg shows her seated on a terrace, a veil over her hair and a scroll unrolled across her knees, with temples and gardens below.
Look closely at her face. She turns from her reading towards something we cannot see, alert and unafraid. Kronberg was a Swedish painter who lived in Rome for twelve years, and he painted this in the year he returned to Stockholm. He later painted the ceilings of rooms in the Royal Palace there.
THE LOOK
Ivory drapery, terracotta and a pale Mediterranean sky. Calm, intelligent and quietly tense. Library wall art for a study, a home library or a reading room, and dark academia decor with a real woman of learning at its centre.
GIFTING
A meaningful gift for a graduation, a new home library or a retirement. A portrait of the scholar who would not be silenced.
