Painted in 1890, this image stages a quiet collision between rural labor and modern speed. Austrian-born British artist Marianne Stokes never shows the locomotive choosing to lets it arrive as vapor, turning industry into atmosphere ... or something that seeps into the countryside and shifts a working day’s rhythm. A young woman stands in profile at the edge of a meadow, her body turned to our right while her gaze looks almost behind, as if listening. She appears late-teen to young adult, with light skin and brown hair swept into a low bun. A vivid red cape wraps her shoulders and arms, forming a near-triangular silhouette over a dark teal dress that falls straight to her ankles. Near her left hip, she grips the wooden handle of a small sickle or harvesting tool. Her other hand holds a tightly bound bundle of brushwood, its twig ends pointing forward. Behind her, a field stretches into bands of deep blue-green and soft olive, dotted with small yellow blossoms and shadowed stems. On the far horizon a pale sun sits low, flattened by haze. At the right, a passing train is suggested only by drifting white steam and smoke, which blurs the landscape and dissolves into the greenish sky. The paint surface feels velvety and atmospheric, with softened edges that make sound like steam, wind, and the rush of train wheels seem present even in stillness. Her lips and her sideways glance feels alert as if caught between the grounded weight of work and the airy blur of steam. The red cloak anchors the woman, while her half-turned pose suggests divided attention between the bundle of gathered wood at her side, and the train rushing past. Born in Graz, Marianne Stokes (née Maria Léopoldine Preindlsberger) later based her career in Britain and often painted women and children in moments of solitude. This sitter is unnamed, yet her pause feels universal ... and close enough to feel progress, but not close enough to ride.

This painting is of the 1893 Symbolist play "Pelléas and Mélisande" by Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck about forbidden, doomed love. In this scene Melisande, wearing a long red dress and beautiful patterned undershirt is by a stream in the woods where she has lost her golden crown in the water, but does not wish to retrieve it; there she is discovered by her future husband Golaud. They marry, and she instantly wins the favor of Arkël, Golaud's grandfather and king of Allemonde, who is ill. She begins to be drawn to Pelléas, Golaud's brother. They meet by the fountain, where Mélisande loses her wedding ring. Golaud grows suspicious of the lovers, has his son Yniold spy on them, and discovers them caressing, whereupon he kills Pelléas and wounds Mélisande. She later dies after giving birth to an abnormally small girl. Marianne Stokes (née Preindlsberger) was an Austrian painter. She settled in England after her marriage to Adrian Scott Stokes, the landscape painter, whom she had met in Pont-Aven, France. Stokes was considered one of the leading women artists in Victorian England.

This painting is called #Candlemas. It's by #mariannestokes. Candlemas is one of many names for this special moment in the calendar -- a time of purification and celebrating the quickening of life. I've written more about this on the website. Here's the link. wp.me/pbuLHH-5W1 #imbolcblessings
