More about this artwork
The painting titled "The Princess as the Ogre’s Bride" created by Warwick Goble in 1911 is a captivating work that evokes a sense of melancholy beauty and narrative intrigue. This artwork beautifully portrays a princess draped in an ornate and flowing gown that combines rich tones of green and floral patterns, enhancing her ethereal and delicate presence. Her expression is somber, possibly reflecting the gravity of her fate as the bride of an ogre, suggesting a tale of sacrifice and duty intertwined with mythical undertones.The backdrop is subtly detailed, providing a hint of a regal setting that complements the princess's attire. The use of muted colors and the soft wash technique add to the dreamlike quality of Goble's work, making it not only a visual treat but also a piece that stirs the imagination about the underlying story.
