Love has inspired artists, poets and musicians for centuries. Join us at the Amherst Town Library on Thursday, February 7, 7:00-8:30PM and look at depictions of love, desire and heartache throughout the history of art. Enjoy images that capture the giddy joy and excitement of new romances, from first flirtations to sensual seductions and analyze scenes of break-ups and betrayal. This presentation includes works by well-known masters through the ages including Botticelli, Fragonard, Renoir and Chagall.
