Love's Palace (1891-1893)

John Melhuish Strudwick, 1849-1935

Oil on canvas

'Love' sits enthroned in the centre with the Fates at the base of the steps.
Girls watch a bubble floating in the air (a symbol of vanity and hope). listen
to sweet music and learn about love from the pages of a book. In the background
knights ride by - on one side embodying the joys of love and on the other its sorrows.
