The Robing of the Bride
Dorsoduro
- Artist: Max Ernst
- Location: The Robing of the Bride
- Date: 1940
The painting is an example of Ernst’s illusionist surrealism, in which a traditional technique is applied to a non-realist subject. The elegance of the picture thus contrasts with the fantastical character of the protagonists in whom, perhaps, we can identify Ernst himself in the bird and the English surrealist painter Leonora Carrington in the bride.
