This painting, titled Love and Life, is by the English artist George Frederick Watts (1817-1904). Watts said it probably best portrayed his message to the age and was on of his favorites as it expressed his thought better than any other. Love, with his wings that can easily raise him to the heavens, leads life upward along the steep, difficult path. The way is rough - flowers spring behind in places where Love has been. Life, a slight female figure, ascends with trust in the power of Love, from the depths of brutality to the pure heights to which humanity climbs with painful striving. Watts said Love here is altruism and tenderness. There are three verisons of this painting.
