With the painting’s title, Gluck refers to the Roman mythological goddess of flowers and spring. A symbol of youth, fertility and new life, Gluck’s nude Flora, with her cape of flowers, was painted after the start of the artist's relationship with the florist Constance Spry, and during a period of deep appreciation for the Cornish landscape. Gluck was especially struck by the effect of chameleon-like effect of light upon the sky and landscape in Larmona, Cornwall, elements that can been seen at play in Flora’s Cloak.

Please note that the largest available size option for this print is 80 x 60 cm.

Gluck (1895 – 1978) was a British painter, who rejected any forename or prefix. Born in London, Gluck attended St John's Wood School of Art between 1913 and 1916 before moving to the west Cornwall valley of Lamorna and joining the artists' colony there. Throughout the artist’s career, Gluck became noted for portraits and floral paintings, as well as a new design of picture-frame. By campaigning against the poor quality of oil paints available in the 1950s, Gluck also eventually persuaded the British Standards Institution to create a new standard for oil paints. Gluck’s joint self-portrait with Nesta Obermer, Medallion is viewed as an iconic Queer statement.
