Easy does it...

Being carefully lifted, a valuable painting by Frederic, Lord Leighton, is hung at Scarborough Art Gallery today.
I liked the way all the people involved became parts of the composition, around the painting, as if they were part of a bigger painting.

Some info about the painting, from the press release, says...
Frederic Leighton was born in Scarborough in 1830; the family moved to London when he was still a child. He studied abroad, and became known as a neo-classical artist, although many link him with the pre-Raphaelite movement - he was friends with some of the group, and much of his work, including his most famous painting, Flaming June, has pre-Raphaelite overtones. He eventually became President of the Royal Academy. He holds the unenviable record of having the shortest-lived peerage in history - he became Lord Leighton just one day before his death in 1896.
The subject for Clytie is taken from Book IV of Ovid's Metamorphoses. The nymph falls in love with Apollo the sun god but is rejected by him. She goes to a remote spot and remains there, neither eating nor drinking, drawing nourishment only from her tears. Each day she watches her former lover drive his chariot across the sky. Her hair becomes wild, her flesh pale except where it is still warmed by the sun's rays. Eventually she becomes rooted to the ground, her body turns into the stem of a plant and her face becomes a sunflower which forever follows Apollo on his daily journey across the sky.
Leighton began the painting in 1895. His model was Dorothy Dene, a girl from a large and very poor family. During the 1880s Leighton had encouraged her to become an actress and his patronage of the beautiful Cockney girl and attempts to mould and refine her are said to have inspired George Bernard Shaw's characters Professor Higgins and Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion.
When Leighton died in January 1896, he was laid out in his studio, with the unfinished Clytie, which was very near completion, on an easel at the head of his coffin. Later that year it was shown at the Royal Academy as the single work chosen to commemorate Leighton's achievements.
