Painting Description
"The Princess on Glass Mountain" is an oil painting by Marianne Preindelsberger Stokes, an Austrian-born British artist known for her contributions to the Newlyn School of painters. Created in 1891, this work is inspired by a Scandinavian fairy tale of the same name, which tells the story of a princess placed atop a glass mountain by her father, with the challenge that only the suitor who can ride up the slippery slope may marry her.
Stokes's rendition of the tale captures the moment of anticipation and enchantment inherent in the narrative. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the fusion of Pre-Raphaelite and Symbolist influences, which were prevalent in the late 19th-century art scene. The artist's choice of subject reflects the Victorian fascination with medievalism and folklore, while also showcasing her skill in portraying texture, from the translucent quality of the glass mountain to the intricate fabrics worn by the princess.
Marianne Stokes, née Preindelsberger, was married to fellow artist Adrian Scott Stokes, and the couple often worked and traveled together, drawing inspiration from various cultural and artistic traditions. "The Princess on Glass Mountain" is a testament to Marianne Stokes's talent in bringing mythical and literary themes to life, and it remains a significant piece within her oeuvre, exemplifying her contribution to the narrative and symbolist tendencies of the period. The painting is held in a private collection, and it has been exhibited in various art galleries, contributing to the understanding of late Victorian art and the role of female artists in the movement.
