The artwork named “The March Marigold,” created around 1870 by the artist Edward Burne-Jones, is an oil painting on canvas. This piece belongs to the Romanticism art movement and falls under the genre of genre painting. Presently, this artwork is located at the Piccadilly Gallery in London, UK.
The artwork portrays a young woman, meticulously draped in a flowing orange dress, bending forward to delicately pick a flower, embodying a moment of serene absorption in nature. The background consists of a tranquil landscape with softly undulating hills, scattered trees, and a serene sky that casts a calm and reflective atmosphere, characteristic of Romanticism’s emphasis on emotional and natural beauty. The overall composition and the use of subdued yet rich colors evoke a sense of harmony between the human figure and the surrounding natural environment.
