This Valentine’s Day explore the ravishingly beautiful paintings in the collection that share the theme of love.
Spend 75-minutes with seduction, courtship, marriage, voyeurism, fidelity, adultery, gods and mortals, beds and alcoves; Cupid’s arrow will leave no painting untouched. Botticelli, Van Eyck, Titian, Veronese, Watteau, Gainsborough, Reni, Rembrandt, Velazquez, Rubens and many more conspired to paint love for our eyes only.
