We are attending a wedding this Saturday, one that we are most happy to attend. What a wonderful day it should be. The flowers are looking beautiful. There's a big cake already made. Everything's on track for a big time celebration. So, in honor of this happy day, let's look at weddings for Fine Art Friday!
First, the most famous wedding of all:
Next, a New Englandy kind of wedding. I have always been drawn to this style of painting. It's not primitive, but it is simple. And very, very organized. That's not exactly the right word, but I can't quite put my finger on another.
I think most unmarried women, no matter what their place in life, dream about their weddings. At least a little bit. This picture seems sad to me. Will a courtesan ever really get what she is dreaming of? Or is her life on a completely different path now?
A very old fashioned scene. I like the light on the bride, and how she seems to glow. It makes me hope that that glow will last for her past the wedding day.
Planning weddings is notoriously stressful. How would you have liked to have had to plan this one?
Next, something completely different. But then, you can almost always say that about Chagall, can't you?
And last, the non-representational look at weddings!
Have a happy weekend, ya'll!
I love them all but "Signing the Register" the best! And of course Chagal.
I love the Chagall, so much, it makes me want to remarry! :D
I agree that "Signing the Register" is best.
And the Chagall would look lovely on my living room wall.
