LOVE AND DEATH, George Frederick
Watts, London; canvas, H. 7 ft. 7 in. × 3 ft.
9 in. Death, represented by a tall figure
draped in white, whose back alone is seen,
relentlessly forces his way into the portal of
a house, thrusting back Love, who vainly
seeks to bar his entrance, crushing his wings
against the garlands of roses which grow at
the side. Begun about 1869; exhibited at
Grosvenor Gallery, London, 1877; at Metropolitan
Museum, New York, in 1884-85.
LOVE AND LIFE, George Frederick
Watts, London; canvas, H. 7 ft. 2 in. × 4 ft.
Companion picture to Love and Death.
Love, represented by the winged figure of a
youth, is leading the way up a steep ascent
and guiding over the rough places Life, a
young girl, nude, who clings to him for
support. The half-extended wings of Love
shade the delicate figure of Life from the
rays of the sun, and his footsteps can be
traced by the daisies which have sprung up
in his path. Painted in 1884; Grosvenor
Gallery, 1885; replica at Metropolitan Museum,
New York, 1884-85.
