Price History
Description
A reproduction of 'Cariatide' by Modigliani. This archival giclee print has a cotton core mount in a handmade and hand-finished sustainably sourced solid ash wood frame. Made in the UK by museum specialists and printed on heavyweight, matt-smooth fine art paper, it's ready to hang on your wall. Modigliani was an Italian Jewish painter and sculptor who mainly worked in France. Throughout his career, he made more than seventy drawings of caryatids, sculpted female figures which serve as architectural supports taking the place of a column or pillar. Modigliani was also inspired by African art and this influence can be seen in the highly stylised manner and mask-like faces of the caryatids. Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) was a radical Italian painter and sculptor. Despite the bad reception to his portraits of modern women during his lifetime, his distinctive works are now highly celebrated and he is credited with revitalising figurative painting. His painting 'Nu Couché' sold for £113 million in 2015, making it one of the most expensive paintings in history. Modigliani's figures, with their elongated proportions and frank, almond eyes, skilfully portray the personality of the subject without straying from his signature style.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
