April Love is a painting by the Pre-Raphaelite painter Arthur Hughes which was created between 1855 and 1856.
[2] The painting depicts a young couple at a moment of emotional crisis.
The male figure is barely visible, his head bent over the young woman's left hand.
The woman, tears slightly overflowing, is looking down at fallen blossoms, suggesting the end of spring and of early and young love.
The model for the principal figure was Tryphena Ford, whom Hughes married in 1855.
