Vedder first depicted the subject in his landmark artist’s book, “Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám” (1884), for which he produced fifty-six full-page visual “accompaniments” for Edward FitzGerald’s translation of the twelfth-century text. Linked to quatrains thirty-four through thirty-six, the figures in “The Pleiades” symbolically represent the horoscope of the astronomer-poet Khayyam—as the stars under whose ascendency he was born. Together they hold aloft a thread of light from which six stars glow; a seventh has escaped from a break in the thread. Vedder returned often to his “Rubáiyát” imagery for creative inspiration, producing related decorative designs and oil paintings including this work and its preparatory studies.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/13070\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - The Pleiades\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elihu Vedder","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887381356787,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (24 1\/8\" x 37 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887381389555,"sku":null,"price":1498.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (14 3\/8\" x 22 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887381422323,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (17 1\/2\" x 27 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887381455091,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (21 1\/2\" x 33 1\/2\")","offer_id":49887381487859,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (27 3\/4\" x 43 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887381520627,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (33 1\/4\" x 51 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887381553395,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (39 1\/4\" x 61 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887381586163,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (47 1\/8\" x 73 3\/8\")","offer_id":49887381618931,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/ThePleiades.jpg?v=1790317551","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/the-pleiades","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
