Description: THE GARDEN OF THE HESPERIDES (Frederick Leighton 1892)This is the mythological Greek paradise associated with Zeus and Hera. The Hesperides were nymphs guarding the golden apple tree with the serpent, Ladon. The artist has recreated a scene with the nymphs relaxing in a secluded garden where they sing enchanted songs. Milton's Camus may have inspired the artist:- 'All amid the gardens fairOf Hesperus and his daughters three That sing about the golden tree'In a fine octagonal wooden frame, glass-fronted.
