The Marriage of Princess Alice, 1st July 1862
Artist: George Housman Thomas (British, 1824-1868)
Date: 1862-1863
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Royal Collection Trust, London, United Kingdom
Description
The marriage of Princess Alice, the third child of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, and Prince Louis of Hesse took place 'in the strictest privacy' barely six months after the death of Prince Albert. The ceremony was held in the Dining Room at Osborne 'which was very prettily decorated, the altar being placed under our large family picture', as the Queen recorded in her Journal. A portrait of Victoria, Duchess of Kent, by Franz Xaver Winterhalter also hangs on the back wall in this painting. The Archbishop of York stands behind the altar and Queen Victoria sits in the light from the window, with Prince Arthur and Prince Leopold next to her. The bridegroom's parents, Prince and Princess Charles of Hesse, stand facing Queen Victoria. The bridesmaids were Princess Alice's sisters: Princess Louise, Princess Helena and Princess Beatrice, and Princess Anna of Hesse.
Sunlight in the Cafeteria
Artist: Edward Hopper (American, 1882–1967)
Date: 1958
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT, United States
Description
From the time he was a young man, Edward Hopper was intrigued by people in urban restaurants, where strangers had little interaction. Sunlight in a Cafeteria captures an unsettling tension between the man and woman who are clearly aware of, but do not acknowledge, each other’s presence. This edgy stillness suggests the closed lines of communication in much of modern urban life. As in so many of Hopper’s paintings, the ambiguity in the scene opens up multiple narrative possibilities.
