Eduard Daege was a Professor of Art and later became the Prussian Academy of Art Director in Berlin. The invention of painting, or the story of how Butades traced her lover's shadow, is a mythic scene visited by many masters; here, Daege renders the original concept in "Shadow Painting," an impeccably painted academic composition. This Classical Mixed-Media painting is a fine idea for traditional or modern interiors, not to mention Luxury Mansions in Barton Creek, Austin, Texas.
