Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale - The Pale Complexion of True Love,
1899
The title is taken from Shakespeare's AS You Like It, Act III, when Corin speaks of Silvius' unrequired love for Phebe as a "pageant play'd Between the pale complexion of true love And the red glow of scorn and proud disdain."
Does anyone know where this painting is now?
ReplyDeleteIf you're still wondering, it's just now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris (France)
