LOVE AND DEATH, George Frederick Watts, London; canvas, H. 7 ft. 7 in. × 3 ft. 9 in. Death, represented by a tall figure draped in white, whose back alone is seen, relentlessly forces his way into the portal of a house, thrusting back Love, who vainly seeks to bar his entrance, crushing his wings against the garlands of roses which grow at the side. Begun about 1869; exhibited at Grosvenor Gallery, London, 1877; at Metropolitan Museum, New York, in 1884-85.

LOVE AND LIFE, George Frederick Watts, London; canvas, H. 7 ft. 2 in. × 4 ft. Companion picture to Love and Death. Love, represented by the winged figure of a youth, is leading the way up a steep ascent and guiding over the rough places Life, a young girl, nude, who clings to him for support. The half-extended wings of Love shade the delicate figure of Life from the rays of the sun, and his footsteps can be traced by the daisies which have sprung up in his path. Painted in 1884; Grosvenor Gallery, 1885; replica at Metropolitan Museum, New York, 1884-85.
