About This Design
The Tragedy of Lucretia by Sandro Botticelli Cushion
The Tragedy of Lucretia, central scene (1496-1504) by Sandro Botticelli is a vintage Renaissance Era fine art painting featuring the death by suicide of Lucretia.
The painting is a blend of scenes from different legendary themes in different time periods that Botticelli considered related. The legend is that Lucretia, a noblewoman, was taken advantage of by the son of the last king of Rome, Sextus Tarquinius. As a result, Lucius Junius Brutus took an oath to expel the Tarquinii from Rome and never to allow anyone else to reign. Lucretia's corpse is on public display as a heroine. Brutus stands over her exhorting the populace to revolt and recruiting a revolutionary army of young men with swords. The dagger with which Lucretia killed herself is sticking out of her chest. The statue on top of the column behind Brutus is David with Goliath's head. David and Goliath were a symbol of revolt against tyranny in the Republic of Florence, Italy.

I designed this pillow as a birthday gift for my Mum from a pastel drawing of my own wedding bouquet. She wanted some of my artwork in her living room, so I decided to get it reproduced on something useful. The pillow is really soft and comfortable - perfect for her bad back. She absolutely loves it. I was a bit worried about print quality, but it was perfect. The definition of the pastel marks really came through and the colours are so vivid, it almost glows in the dark. The colour reproduction was spot on and the text on the back well-defined. Better than expected.

Would be better if you could select several photos at once from your own saved photos to save them on to the website rather than one at a time.
Great quality in fact ordered 2 more of a different photo layout design for Christmas presents. Photos and photos of drawings my young nieces did on this cushion turned out perfect or I should say ‘purrrrrfect’ as they were all photos of their cats
