Psyche's wedding

A painted procession of robed women and an older bearded man with a staff advances across a dusky hillside, scattering pink roses on the grass. The soft, muted palette of grey-greens and dark blues gives the scene a dreamlike, Pre-Raphaelite calm.

Español: La boda de Psique, procesión, Burne-Jones, 1895

Una procesión pintada de mujeres con túnicas y un hombre mayor barbado con un bastón avanza por una ladera al anochecer, esparciendo rosas rosadas sobre la hierba. La paleta suave y apagada de verdes grisáceos y azules oscuros da a la escena una calma onírica de estilo prerrafaelita.

Português: O casamento de Psique, procissão, Burne-Jones, 1895

Uma procissão pintada de mulheres com vestes longas e um homem mais velho e barbudo com um cajado avança por uma encosta ao crepúsculo, espalhando rosas cor-de-rosa sobre a grama. A paleta suave e esmaecida de verdes acinzentados e azuis escuros confere à cena uma calma onírica, de estilo pré-rafaelita.
