Original Description
William Bell Scott’s Una and the Lion (1860) is a mesmerizing Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece that blends literary romance with vivid symbolism. Inspired by Edmund Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, the painting depicts Una, a personification of truth and purity, tenderly calming a fierce lion—an allegory of innocence taming raw power. Scott’s meticulous attention to detail, luminous colors, and flattened perspective are hallmarks of the Brotherhood’s style, while the dreamlike foliage and rich textures create an otherworldly ambiance. Though lesser-known than works by Rossetti or Millais, this piece exemplifies the Pre-Raphaelites’ revival of medieval themes and moral narratives, bridging Romanticism and the Aesthetic Movement. Its haunting beauty and layered meaning make it a standout in 19th-century British art.
For a striking decor statement, hang Una and the Lion in a study or lounge where its romantic idealism can shine. Choose a gilded or dark wooden frame to amplify its vintage charm, and position it as a focal point against deep-toned walls—emerald green or burgundy would echo the painting’s lush foliage. At 60 x 90 cm (or a similar medium-large scale), it commands attention without overwhelming smaller spaces. Pair it with velvet upholstery or wrought-iron accents to enhance the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. In minimalist settings, let its intricate details contrast with clean lines, while warm, subdued lighting will highlight the golden hues in Una’s drapery. The artwork’s vertical composition also suits narrow walls or alcoves, offering a touch of poetic drama to any refined interior.
