Notes (Hamnet):
Subject: The subject matter of the paintings is abstractly illustrative, often featuring symbols in passages rather than actions. There are many portrayals of the moon juxtaposed with the sun. The quotation 'That he hath turned heaven into hell' is illustrated. Much of the work portrays elements of the natural and supernatural world.

Artist: Marcius-Simons is listed in some sources under the name Simons and is noted as exhibiting in London, Paris, New York and Bayreuth. He was a genre painter who did works based on the Parsifal story and the Ring cycle, this he notes in the paragraph above his signature on this item. Three catalogs of exhibitions of his works are listed in National Union Catalog. Grave's listing of Royal Academy exhibitors gives him a Northampton address in 1891.
