Convent Thoughts

Artist: Charles Allston Collins (British, 1828-1873) Date: ca. 1850-1851 Medium: Oil on canvas Collection: Ashmolean Museum Oxford, England

Description

A nun looks at a Passion flower, symbolizing the crucifixion of Christ. In her left hand, she holds a religious book open at an image of the Virgin Mary.

The flowers in the painting symbolize various traits of a nun including remembrance (Forget-me-nots), purity (Madonna liliesn), constancy (Evergreen trumpet honeysuckle) and most of all passion for Christ (the Passion flower she holds in her hand).

Collins painted the background while staying in Oxford; the flowers were painted in the garden of the Clarendon Press, where he was a guest of the Combes. The painting is executed in the minutely detailed style of the early Pre-Raphaelites, though Collins was never a member of the Brotherhood. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1851 and was one of the works which inspired Ruskin's defense of young artists.
