Genevieve. (from a poem by S.T. Coleridge entitled 'Love'), George Dawe, 1812, George Dawe's painting Genevieve is a large-scale masterpiece of what art historians have termed 'Romantic classicism', highly fashionable in the early 19th century. It pulls out all the stops: on the left, a slender young female figure a in virginal white dress inclines her blushing face away from the passionate musician, her elbow resting on the plinth of stone statue of an amoured knight, which is only partially visible. To her right, a handsome seated male, dressed in a ruff and a burgundy coloured velvet suit in Elizabethan style, plucks on his harp, his fervent and melancholy gaze fixed on the young woman. The landscape background of romantic crags, ruins and a tumultuous cloudy sky, perfectly frames this dramatic scene. What is it all about?.
