EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Off, 1899" depicts a scene of love and longing beautifully captured by Edmund Blair Leighton. In this oil on panel masterpiece, measuring 32.7x24.8 cm, the Manchester Art Gallery showcases the artist's incredible talent. Set in a serene garden, we witness a couple taking a stroll on a wooden bridge. The female figure appears obstinate and petulant as she walks away from her suitor, who is seated with an expression of deep regret and disappointment. It is evident that he has just proposed to her but was met with refusal. Leighton skillfully portrays the emotions of both characters through their body language and facial expressions. The sulking woman's posture suggests stubbornness while the man's dejected stance reveals his heartbreak. As viewers, we are left to wonder about the circumstances surrounding this rejected proposal. Was it due to fear or doubt? Or perhaps there were external factors at play? Regardless of the reason behind her refusal, "Off, 1899" captures a poignant moment in time where love meets rejection. This painting serves as a reminder that even in moments of disappointment and regret, beauty can be found within human emotion. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable artwork for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its profound message conveyed through Leighton's masterful brushstrokes.
