ArtsNational - Love, marriage and fidelity in western art
Love and marriage have always been a source of inspiration to authors and artists alike. One of the most famous portraits in the National Gallery is Van Eyck’s enigmatic Arnolfini Portrait, but marital depictions have a much longer history: in Ancient Egypt people chose to have themselves immortalised as loving couples. Double or pendant portraits were also commissioned in large numbers from artists such as Rembrandt, Hals and Gainsborough. Yet others show a more ironic or even cynical attitude, for love and marriage are not always a bed of roses!
