Love in Art: A Journey Through Conjugal Bliss and Intrigue Walter Sickert's "Seated Man" (1927) invites us into a quiet moment of marital intimacy. But the tranquility is short-lived as we're transported to a Victorian parlor in a Hogarth print, where two lovers' privacy is disrupted by prying maids. The cartoon "Marriage," from the mid-nineteenth century, offers a humorous take on the institution, while the couple in bed from "Le Livre des Proprietes des choses" (Ms 22531) embodies the comfort and closeness of a long-term partnership. The return of the crusader, Hugh de Vaudemont, is greeted with the embrace of his wife in "The Return of the Crusader," a testament to the power of love and loyalty. The "Happy Marriage" woodcut captures the joy and playfulness that can come with wedded bliss. Napoleon I and Marie-Louise's tender moment on the Carp Pond at Fontainebleau is a reminder that even royalty knows the importance of love and connection. In the design for the new gallery of busts and pictures, the artist trusts in the gentle power of art to bring people together. And finally, in the Japanese Wedding Ceremony series, we see the beauty and tradition of a union that lasts a lifetime. Join us as we explore the many facets of love and marriage through art.
