The Death of Springtime

The atmosphere is purely amazing. I like the separation between the flowers, the colors, the light that represent life and the coldness, the darkness, dead trees representing Death. Same with the characters, Persephone beautiful goddess wearing a light pink dress that goes very well with her skin. Hades on the other side is wearing his bloody red cape making his skin even bluer. This again shows how opposite the characters are. Persephone's expression is quite hard to interpret but I'll say that she looks a bit afraid to open her eyes and faces her husband but has yet her hand close to his. I see the river as the Styx because her hair, her dress and his cape are all falling into it but I may be wrong. For Hades it is hard to tell since his face is a skull. The little light he is holding can has two interpretations. Maybe he is trying to protect it because he knows Hell can't exist if there is no life in the mortal world. Or he is just happy because he also knows that everything that dies will go in his kingdom forever. Maybe it's the two I can't tell. Anyway this picture is beautiful and shows very well how two different beings end up forever together.
