Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting depicts an indistinctly seen, standing female figure who is wearing a veil. She is probably a bride. The bride theme, the inspiration for which was the figure of Gretchen from Goethe's Faust, began appearing in his work after 1865. Gretchen was a figure with whom the anti-social artist could identify, because in Maris's opinion both were cast off by society, church and family despite their good qualities. | Subjects: | figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maris, Matthijs (Dutch painter, 1839-1917) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8757... | Go to resource |
