LOVE IMAGES: ROMANTICISM, ART AND MASTERPIECES, PAINTINGS TALKING ABOUT LOVE

It’s just a few words, but it seems that it’s very hard to say “I love you”.
I declared my love some time ago, and if I hadn’t had the courage to do it, probably this blog wouldn’t have been born. And who knows what would happened to me, because that love has changed completely my life.

And you? Have you found the love?
Th love which overwhelms you and makes you change your path in life, your goals, and messes up your life plan?
I do believe in love, and if you are ready to declare your love, but you don’t know how to do it, maybe these artworks can inspire you, or maybe they will make you wait for the right moment for a little while yet.
