It was shown that year in Brussels, then at the Paris Salon of 1901 under the title Filles de Rois, and is often considered his masterpiece. Born in Saint-Gilles near Brussels, Gustave-Max Stevens (1871–1946) trained in Brussels and Paris and co-founded the artists' group Le Sillon in 1893. His jewelled, dreamlike style owes much to the Pre-Raphaelites and to Belgian Symbolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Gustave-Max Stevens (1871–1946)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1899\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique\u003c\/strong\u003e: oil on canvas, about 193 × 290 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject\u003c\/strong\u003e: The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Brothers Grimm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Symbolism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour print\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours restored from a high-definition scan of the original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinted in Europe on thick archival matte paper, FSC certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom A4 to A0, plus 40×60, 50×70, 60×90 and 70×100 cm and 12×18 to 27×40 inch sizes, all made for standard frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFree shipping, no minimum order.
