Discover the love stories that inspired art's greatest masterpieces.

Whether in the midst of rapturous passion, suffering the pain of unrequited love, or enjoying the bliss of a deeply supportive friendship, this book explores how love influenced artists and the works they created.

Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photographs of more than 70 works of art, this guide looks at how artists have painted, sketched and sculpted their lovers, and how the theme of love has manifested itself in a variety of genres, from landscapes to still lifes to self-portraits.

Among the artists included are: Caravaggio, Georgia O'Keeffe, Sarah Bernhardt, Picasso, Rembrandt, Frida Kahlo, Tamara de Lempicka, Clifford Prince-King, Chagall, Lotte Laserstein and Niki de Saint Phalle.
