About
Love is in the air in this journey into the collection.
To celebrate Valentine’s Day, we focus on a selection of ravishingly beautiful paintings on the theme of love.
Seduction, courtship, marriage, voyeurism, fidelity, adultery, gods and mortals, beds and alcoves: Cupid’s arrow will leave no painting untouched. Van Eyck, Veronese, Watteau, Gainsborough, Reni, Rembrandt, Velázquez, Rubens and many more artists have all conspired to paint love for our eyes only.
This is a walking tour throughout the Gallery and headsets will be provided.
