The Bridesmaid, Millais, 1851
It was said that a bridesmaid would see a vision of her true if she passed a piece of wedding cake through a ring nine times. Here, the chaste bridesmaid (symbolized by orange blossom) appears to contemplate her future.

In the 1800s, artists mined the past in beautiful ways. Drawing from myths & Romantic poetry, their paintings evoked a fairy-tale sense of love & romance, with the magical look of the Middle Ages —from knights to maidens. ❤️

¿Conocéis la primera obra? Seguramente sí. Es la Ofelia de Millais, una de las obras más conocidas de los prerrafelitas. Ya sabéis que me gusta mucho comparar la visión de un mismo tema de distintos artistas, así que junto a ella la de Cabanel, la de Waterhouse y la de Heyser.
