Lady Godiva
Edmund Leighton1902/1902
The Herbert Art Gallery and Museum
Coventry, United Kingdom
This is a copy of an original work painted in 1892 by Edmund Blair Leighton. Leighton based his painting very closely on Tennyson's poem. He chose the episode where Godiva pleads with Leofric to lift the tax on the people of Coventry. In this scene he has just challenged her to ride naked through the streets.
