Art of Love July 2, 2008

'The Art of Love' explores notions of romantic love with twenty-one woodcuts, engravings, and etchings from the Ackland's collection. The works of art are by Dutch, Flemish, French, German, and Italian artists from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries. The prints depict subjects including courtship, marriage, illicit relationships, allegorical ideals of love, and narratives about famous pairs like Adam and Eve and Romeo and Juliet.
