Founded in 1994, The Course is an award winning organisation which offers art history, music, literature and garden lectures.

In this 10 week series on Desire and Longing in Art, you will look across the centuries at how artists have explored the enduring themes of love, courtship, marriage and sexual desire.

Session 9 Great Romances

Fictional lovers like Orpheus and Eurydice, Romeo and Juliet, Lancelot and Guinevere, Tristan and Isolde have all been represented in artworks which reveal as much about the artist’s era as the original story.
