About the piece
Created by Louis Janmot in 1854 as part of his monumental series 'Le Poème de l’âme', this painting titled 'Virginitas' captures a moment of profound spiritual purity. The two figures, draped in translucent white robes, sit by a reflecting pool accompanied by a resting leopard and a lily, symbolizing innocence and harmony within a vast, misty landscape that evokes the sublime beauty of the French Romantic era.
