Painting Description
Rapunzel" is a painting by Arthur Hughes, an eminent English painter and illustrator associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Completed around 1863, the artwork depicts the fairytale character Rapunzel, trapped in a tower, following the story popularized by the Brothers Grimm.
In the painting, Rapunzel is shown leaning over the extensive tower, letting down her long, flowing, golden hair, for the prince climb up, personifying her as a typical damsel in distress. The character's portrayal in a tower set deeply into a forest emphasizes her isolation, while the tower's height underlines her confinement.
Hughes employs ambient lighting to accentuate the depth of despair and desolation his subject is experiencing, using the contrast between dark and light to dramatic effect. He uses rich colors, meticulous detail to animate the flora and fauna, and innovative composition to create a poignant depiction of a familiar fairytale. This work is a testament to the artist's ability to fuse elements of nature with narratives, eliciting empathy from the viewers while keeping them engaged.
Manuscript evidence suggests that the work implies a critique of oppressive standards of femininity during the Victorian era. "Rapunzel" is an excellent example of Hughes' style, representative of his contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
