# Women in Classical Dress Attending a Young Bride [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [VIEN, Joseph-Marie]() - Date: 1751-1800 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 100 x 135 cm ## Commentary This painting is one of the artist's finest works in the Neo-classical style, and the first of four major works painted by the artist during his tenure as Director of the French Academy in Rome. Though history and religious painting dominated his early career, influenced by a particular interest in Italian Baroque painting, Vien went on to become one of the earliest proponents in France of Neo-clacissism. ## Related artworks - [Greek Maidens Adorning a Sleeping Cupid with Flowers]() - [La Marchande d'Amours]() - [Lover Crowning his Mistress]() - [Marcus Aurelius Distributing Bread to the People]() - [Portrait of the Architect Barthélemy Michel Hazan on Horseback in Mufti]() - [St Denis Preaching in Gaul]() - [The Sleeping Hermit]() - [Venus Showing Mars her Doves Making a Nest in his Helmet]() - [Venus, Wounded by Diomedes, Is Saved by Iris]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
