"Here Comes the Bride, the Wedding of George and Martha Washington in 1759" is a historical painting by the American artist Jean-Leon Gerome Ferris, known for his series of 78 scenes from American history, entitled "The Pageant of a Nation," the largest series of American historical paintings by a single artist. Ferris, born in 1863 and passing in 1930, was an artist who specialized in historical scenes, and his works often reflect a romanticized view of American history.

This particular painting depicts the wedding of George Washington, the future first President of the United States, and Martha Custis, a wealthy widow from Virginia. The wedding took place on January 6, 1759, at the White House plantation in New Kent County, Virginia, which was Martha Custis's residence. In the painting, Ferris imagines the grandeur and happiness of the occasion, portraying the couple surrounded by friends and family, with Martha Custis in a lavish wedding gown and George Washington in a suit of blue and silver.

While Ferris's work was popular in the early 20th century, it has since been critiqued for its historical inaccuracies and idealized representations. His paintings, including "Here Comes the Bride," are more reflective of the artist's imagination and the era's patriotic nostalgia than of precise historical research. Nevertheless, Ferris's works have been influential in shaping the public's perception of American history and have been widely reproduced in textbooks and other media.

"Here Comes the Bride, the Wedding of George and Martha Washington in 1759" is part of the broader cultural legacy of George Washington and the founding era of the United States. It contributes to the visual narrative of American history and reflects the period's attitudes towards the nation's origins and its celebrated figures. The painting is an example of early 20th-century American historical art and continues to be of interest to those studying the portrayal of American history in visual culture.
