Matthijs Maris, a Dutch painter associated with the Hague School, created "De bruid" (The Bride) in the late 19th century. This painting is renowned for its ethereal and dreamlike quality, characteristic of Maris's later works. Unlike his earlier realist style, "De bruid" reflects a shift towards symbolism and mysticism, influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and the Symbolist movement.

The painting depicts a bride in a delicate, flowing gown, enveloped in a soft, almost otherworldly light. Maris's use of muted colors and gentle brushstrokes creates a sense of introspection and melancholy. The bride appears to be in a trance-like state, emphasizing themes of innocence, purity, and the transition from one life stage to another. This focus on mood and emotion over detailed realism marks a departure from the traditional techniques of the Hague School.

"De bruid" exemplifies Maris's fascination with the inner world and the subconscious. His work during this period often explored themes of fantasy and the supernatural, setting him apart from his contemporaries. The painting's dreamlike atmosphere invites viewers to interpret the scene subjectively, allowing for a personal connection to the artwork.

Matthijs Maris was the younger brother of painters Jacob and Willem Maris, and although he began his career with similar influences, his later works, including "De bruid," highlight his unique artistic journey. His contribution to art lies in his ability to blend realism with fantasy, creating pieces that resonate on an emotional level.

Today, "De bruid" is appreciated for its innovative approach and is considered a significant example of Maris's mature style. The painting is housed in various collections, reflecting its enduring appeal and the artist's legacy in the world of art.
