1780 Aristocratic Bride Greets Groom Morning
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures the tender moment between a French aristocratic groom and his bride on her wedding morning, circa 1780. Dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, the groom extends a warm greeting to his beloved, as she prepares for the grand ceremony ahead. The intricate details of their elegant costumes, from the voluminous skirts and lace collars to the ornate headdresses and embroidered waistcoats, transport us back to an era of opulence and grandeur. The customs and traditions surrounding marriage in 18th century France were steeped in ritual and symbolism. The wedding morning was a time of excitement and anticipation, as the bride and groom exchanged small gifts and shared private moments before the public spectacle of the wedding ceremony. The bride's veil, which she wore to protect her modesty and signify her virginity, was carefully lifted by the groom as a symbol of his possession and love. The print, with its soft pastel colors and delicate brushstrokes, evokes a sense of romance and nostalgia for a bygone era. The intricate details and authenticity of the scene make it a beautiful addition to any collection of historical art or a thoughtful gift for those with an appreciation for the history and traditions of marriage.
