The Marriage of the Virgin is a 1833 oil by Jérôme-Martin Langlois, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a scene of a wedding ceremony, with a group of people gathered around the bride and groom. The bride is dressed in a white robe, while the groom wears a white robe with a gold sash. The priest is dressed in a white robe with a gold sash and a white hat. The scene is set in a grand hall with a large red curtain in the background. The atmosphere is one of joy and celebration, with the guests looking on with smiles on their faces. The use of warm colors such as gold, red, and brown adds to the sense of warmth and festivity. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Jérôme-Martin Langlois, an artist known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto techniques.
Jerome-Martin Langlois (11 March 1779 – 28 December 1838) was a French Neoclassical style painter. He was trained by painter Jacques-Louis David and he was a Knight of the Legion of Honour.
