the original painting hangs at the National Museum of Mexican Art, Pilsen.
She's the Aztec princess Iztaccihuatl.
He's the warrior Popocteptl.
Here is a summary based on one version as recounted at a September 2006 "Myth, Mortals and Immortality: Works from the Museo Soumaya de M�xico"
exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution:
Before leaving for war, Popocat�petl asked Iztacc�huatl's father for permission to marry her. Shortly after, a rival of Popocat�petl falsely told
Iztacc�huatl that her love been killed in battle. The princess died of grief from this news. Popocat�petl returned victorious but was shocked by the
princess's death. To honor her, he ordered a tomb to be built close to the sun. Ten hills were united to create a mountain. Popocat�petl laid the
princess's body at the mountaintop, and the whole mountain took on the form of a sleeping woman. As the warrior kneeled before his lost love, snow
covered them, and they both transformed into volcanoes
