# Bridal Procession in a Spring Landscape [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RICHTER, Adrian Ludwig]() - Date: 1801-1850 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 93 x 150 cm ## Commentary The Bridal Train shows a Utopian world, happy people emerging from the enveloping shadows of the wood on to sunlit meadows. Richter could transform real events, like a wedding, children's games or the reading of a fairy tale into dreamlike memories. He sought to awaken the viewer's innate joy at contemplating the merry games of children. <P> <TABLE ALIGN=LEFT CELLPADDING=5 BORDER=1 WIDTH=320 BGCOLOR="\#99CCCC"> <TR VALIGN=MIDDLE><TD><IMG SRC="/support/gif/listen.gif" BORDER=0 VALIGN=MIDDLE> Suggested listening \(streaming mp3, 31 minutes\):<BR><A HREF="\#" onClick="w=window.open \('/music1/19\_cent/schumann\_symphony1.html', 'newWin', 'scrollbars=yes,status=no,dependent=yes,screenX=0,screenY=0,width=350,height=350'\);w.opener=this;w.focus\(\);return true"><B>Schumann: Symphony No. 1 in B flat, Op. 38 \(Spring Symphony\)</B></A> </TD></TR></TABLE> ## Related artworks - [Crossing the Elbe at Aussig]() - [Genoveva in the Forest Seclusion]() - [Pool in the Riesengebirge]() - [The Fuschlsee with the Schafberg Mountain in the Salzkammergut]() - [The Watzman]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
