Romeo and Juliet

Four hundred and thirty-one years after Romeo and Juliet’s London debut, the myth of the two lovers of Verona continues to challenge art. Starting from the emotional urgency imposed by Shakespeare, and passing through the canvases of Hayez, Brown, and Dicksee, the story of their tragedy moved beyond the stage to take on form, color, and feeling.
