Thomas Cooper Gotch [1854-1931]-Monseigneur Love,:-signed and dated T G Gotch 1880 bottom leftoil on canvas79 x 99cm.* Notes Exhibited. Poems, Plays & Fairy Tales Exhibition, September 2013, Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Penzance.* Notes The Golden Dream, Pamela Lomax, 2004, in which Lomax states 'The symbolism of the painting is ambiguous. If the woman plucks the arrow from the quiver the presumption is that she has chosen to be smitten. If she plucks the arrow from her breast then presumably the young man has chosen to wound her'.* Notes Monseigneur Love was worked-on from January to March 1880, and Gotch called the painting his 'first picture'.
