Love is a many-splendoured thing, but it's also a complex emotion that encompasses a gamut of feelings. With themes of religious devotion, unrequited passion, jealousy, happiness and anger, many of the world's greatest artworks reference love of some description. This exhibition spans 500 years of love-inspired work and covers periods ranging from Renaissance to contemporary, featuring paintings from Rossetti, Vermeer and Chagall. Plenty of British artists are represented as well; highlights include David Hockney's We Two Boys Together Clinging, Marc Quinn's Kiss and Tracey Emin's Those Who Suffer Love (I'm OK Now).
