Description
Original Acrylic painting on canvas board.
One of my favorite poems is "Annabel Lee"by Edgar Allan Poe.
After visting his cottage in Bronx, I intuitively painted Annabel Lee.
Edgar Allan Poe spent the last years of his life, from 1846 to 1849, in The Bronx at Poe Cottage.
A small wooden farmhouse built about 1812, the cottage once commanded unobstructed vistas over the rolling Bronx hills to the shores of Long Island. It was a bucolic setting in which the great writer penned many of his most enduring poetical works, including �Annabel Lee,� �The Bells� and "Eureka".
Poe's wife Virginia dies of tuberculoses in the house. She was the love of his life and he never recovered from the lost. I feel the poem, "Annabel Lee" expresses the love he and his wife shared.
