德蒙-布莱尔-莱顿，布面油画，约1888年，私人收藏，52.4x105.4cm
Edmund Blair Leighton (1853–1922) was a 19th-century Pre-Raphaelite artist from England who is best known for his romanticized medieval depictions. He received formal training at the Royal Academy, where he also exhibited for over 40 years. Often his work depicted romantic pursuits in sentimental Victorian themes. This choice was reflective of a revival of public interest in the medieval theme. Leighton's figures were often depicted dressed in elaborate medieval garb and were engaged in romantic or chivalrous pursuits. As a result, weddings were often featured in his works.
埃德蒙-布莱尔-莱顿(Edmund Blair Leighton，1853-1922)是十九世纪英国的拉斐尔前派画家，以其浪漫化的中世纪绘画而闻名。他在皇家艺术学院接受了正规教育，并在那里展出作品四十多年。他的绘画多以维多利亚时代感伤的主题描绘对浪漫的追求。这一选择反映了公众对中世纪主题兴趣的复苏。莱顿作品中的人物经常被描绘为穿着精致的中世纪服装，富有浪漫和骑士精神的追求。因此他的作品中也经常出现婚礼主题。
The complete title of this painting is To Arms! 'Sweet bridal hymn, that issuing through the porch is rudely challenged with the cry 'to arms'. At the center of this dramatic composition are a young knight and his bride leaving the church following their marriage ceremony. The body language of the couple emphasizes the personalities assigned to them by the artist. The groom takes a strong and authoritative stance while his bride is soft and demure. The elegant clothing of the couple and their guests is emblematic of their high station. The details on the bride's dress are noteworthy and breathtaking. Just as the couple leaves the church they are surprised by a call to arms. The knight in armor has come to summon the groom to join the fight. The wedding guests behind them watch with curious interest, just as the many on the street.
