Romeo and Juliet

myminifactory

One of the hallmarks of Romeo and Juliet's enduring romance is that death ultimately brings them together, rather than driving them apart. With a sense of serenity, Starkopf's portrayal seems to capture the two young lovers in a state of blissful union - their closed eyes and tranquil expression evoke a profound stillness, as if they have transcended mortality. The gentle orientation of their heads towards each other, coupled with the tender intimacy of their heads resting on one another's shoulders, conveys a sense of eternal devotion.
