Bridal Procession in a Spring Landscape

1847
Oil on canvas, 93 x 150 cm
Gemäldegalerie, Dresden

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.
