Lieder ohne Worte by Frederic, Lord Leighton
1861 / Oil on canvas / 40″x24 3/4″ / Tate Britain, London, UK
The title was suggested by a visitor to the artist’s studio, Mrs Ralph Benson,
and evokes Felix Mendelssohn‘s famous “Songs without Words“,
created for the piano between 1829 and 1845. ~ Tate Britain
