Love knows no bounds, and time is of the essence. The elopement begins, as if straight out of a scene from Pride & Prejudice. In Paris, amidst the captivating artwork of 'Being Admitted to the Bedchamber, ' lovers embark on their clandestine journey. A timeless tale unfolds through engravings like 'The Elopement' and 'The Elopement (parody of Akutagawa episode from Tales of Ise). ' Even in distant lands, such as Japan, eloping couples find solace in each other's arms - beautifully depicted in 'Couple eloping' and 'Abhisarika Nayika. ' History captures these daring escapes with Heinrich Schutz's depiction of smuggling out for Gretna Green and the engraving showcasing Bianca Cappello and Francesco I de Medici's elopement. From lithographs portraying love triumphing over societal norms like 'Married for Love' to Shakespearean plays brought to life on stage with scenes like Jessica's elopement in 'The Merchant of Venice, ' we witness love defying all odds. And at that appointed hour, hearts beat faster as lovers make their escape - captured brilliantly in lithograph titled 'At the Appointed Hour. ' Elopements have always been an act fueled by passion and rebellion against conventionality. These artworks serve as a testament to the enduring power of love that transcends time, culture, and boundaries. So let us celebrate those who choose not to wait but seize every moment they have together.
