One for the romantics out there. No, we’re not staging some cringe speed dating bonanza or a swingers party although the latter did cross our minds. Rather, to celebrate Valentine’s Day we’re hitting The National Gallery for an intimate squiz at some of the greatest love paintings in the history of western art. Our expert tour guide Olimpia Isidori will be waxing lyrical about some uber famous love stories depicted by Cranach, van Eyck, Rubens, Veronese and Fragonard, plus explaining why Botticelli’s Venus has the hump with Mars. We reckon it’s because he forgot to take the bins out. Unmissable.

This event is for Members Only (15 places)
