About The Artwork

www.kristianmumford.com original work, not a print. Perfect. Signed on lower right, artist's authentication on the rear. If you like it, please do not hesitate to contact me. Love of King Acrisivis (2010)_OilonLinen_105x105cm In this great mythological painting, Kristian creates one of his most potent and certainly erotic images. It touchs on the story of a true beauty Danae and her tyrant father Argos King Acrisivis, using a radiant English/Irish Beauty Kristian knows well called Ivory Flame. The painting was done when she made a visit to his studio specially, in Adelaide, South Australia. The myth relates that at Argos King Acrisius regned. He had one daughter Danae. An Oracled told the King that one day she would have a son, who would knock him off his perch. The king took action, incarcerating his daughter and a nurse in a bronze chamber. But Zeus, already drawn to Danaes beauty, visted her in secret and impregnated her with a shower of gold. This made the birth of her son, Perseus. It is said Perseus grew up, killed the king and set his mother free.
