Romeo and Juliet (1884)

Frank Dicksee (English, 1853–1928)

Two lovers cling in a moonlit embrace, their faces pressed close as if trying to merge into one. The balcony’s stone feels cold beneath them, but their fingers knot together like roots—desperate, alive. Silk and velvet whisper against skin. Below, shadows stretch long, hinting at the dawn neither wants to face.
A Romance (1894)

Santiago Rusiñol (Spanish, 1861–1931)

A Seaside Romance

Charles Wynne Nicholls (Irish, unknown)

Waves whisper against the shore as two figures stroll, their shadows stretching long on wet sand. The breeze carries laughter, salt, and something unspoken between them. A parasol tilts, shielding secrets from the sun.
Romeo and Juliet

Francesco Hayez (Italian, 1791–1882)

The Loving Cup

Dante Gabriel Rossetti (English, 1828–1882)

A golden cup passes between lovers’ hands, its surface catching the light like whispered promises. Their fingers barely touch, yet the air hums with unspoken devotion. Crimson fabric pools around them, rich as the wine they refuse to drink—some intoxications need no vessel.
