The painting has an interesting history. It was one of the several ones Leighton submitted for the Royal Academy exhibition in the year before his death. Before the official exhibition, he organized a small viewing of the paintings in his studio, attended by members of the royal family. After being on loan to the Ashmolean in Oxford in the early 1900s, the painting vanished for decades, only to be rediscovered in the early 1960s, boxed in over a chimney in a house in Battersea. Andrew Lloyd Webber saw it soon after in a shop on Kings Road, but his grandmother refused to lend him £50 to buy it, famously saying: “I will not have Victorian junk in my flat.”
It was auctioned shortly after but failed to achieve the low reserve price. After the auction, it was quickly purchased by Museo de Arte de Ponce in Ponce, Puerto Rico, its current residence. In 2016, Leighton House Museum hosted an exhibition recreating Leighton’s final submission to the Royal Academy exhibition, bringing almost all of the paintings together into the studio where they were created. Flaming June was definitely the star of the show, returning to its original home for the first time since 1895
