The Wedding Dress
Frederick W. Elwell
(English, 1870-1958)
The Wedding Dress, ????
Oil on canvas
The painting, 'The Wedding Dress', by Fred Elwell tells a story. At the centre, a young woman is kneeling on the floor. She is leaning on an open trunk with her head in her hands and beside her is her wedding dress, strewn across the floor. The woman's bowed body, with her face hidden from view, conveys her distress and grief. The emphasis on the wedding dress makes the story behind the woman's emotions explicit - she is in mourning for the man she was due to marry, or has recently wed. . . . . Ironically, shortly after posing for the painting, the model, Violet Prest, lost her own husband in the First World War, after only a very short marriage, adding a greater poignancy to the work when we look at it today.from the Hull Museum's website

Oil on canvasBut Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. And they said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."
Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

Guest Post
I recently did a guest post over at Shealynn's Faery Shoppe! It's on how to read/look at a painting, and in it I share my favorite websites for looking at/finding information on paintings! Please, take a look! :)
EDIT:
Thanks for pointing out that the links didn't work, Juju! That's embarrassing. They're fixed now, I hope! ;)

I think the title refers to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. It's an adorable and gorgeous painting even if you don't know who he is! :)

2011
Happy New Year! And happy anniversary to this blog!
I started this blog January 1st 2010 to keep track of my favorite paintings and share them with others. There are now 365 paintings on this blog, one for every day of the year.
I won't be posting daily in 2011, but I'll try to post any interesting paintings I find! Feel free to re-experience this blog by starting at the beginning and looking at each day's painting from last year! ;) I will still update this blog and A True Word occasionally, just not every day.
I'm so glad I could share all these paintings with you, my readers around the world! :)
And a quick note about me, since some of you have been curious: My name is Rosemary, I just turned 16 in December, my favorite artist is Edward Burne-Jones, I love art, I love poetry, I love to read, I love to draw, I love crafts, and I love talking to my readers, so feel free to get in touch! :)
