Love and relationships in Victorian art

Where do our ideas about love and relationships come from? Many of them are still influenced by how people in the 19th and early 20th century thought. Let’s go on a journey to examine our ideas of love and relationships using artworks in the Guildhall Art Gallery’s collection.

Images of artworks in the Guildhall Art Gallery’s collections are accompanied by some explanatory text and some questions for discussion in the classroom. Each page has a new artwork with a link to a particular theme represented by a word or phrase.
