"Liking" takes many forms throughout history and art. From Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" to the vibrant colors of love in the kitchen, these artworks capture the essence of affection and desire. In an oil on canvas painting from 1892, we witness a timeless tale unfold, reminding us that love knows no bounds. Moving into the heart of domesticity, a color lithograph titled "Love in the Kitchen" showcases passion simmering amidst pots and pans. A maid dish also joins this visual feast with its own colorful lithograph representation, emphasizing that even mundane tasks can be infused with tenderness. Nature's sweetest offerings are not forgotten either; honey pears (or pairs) make their appearance in another vivid lithograph. The delicate beauty depicted reminds us that love can be as fragile as fruit ripening under golden sunlight. Aphrodite herself graces our presence through a captivating color lithograph. As the goddess of love emerges from her ethereal realm, she serves as a reminder that passion is both divine and human. An egg and spoon become unexpected symbols of connection in yet another lively lithographic piece. This whimsical image demonstrates how even ordinary objects can take on new meaning when shared between two hearts. Intriguingly tucked away within cupboards lies an embrace between lovers captured in vibrant colors. Their secret rendezvous immortalized forever through this intimate depiction evokes feelings of excitement and hidden desires. A couple locked in an ardent kiss shares their momentary bliss while being observed by none other than a table spoon - perhaps serving as a silent witness to their passionate encounter. Love finds its way into every corner of life, even where we least expect it. Triumphal procession unfolds before our eyes through an ancient Greek engraving dedicated to Eros - God of love and sex himself. This grand spectacle reminds us that throughout time immemorial, humanity has celebrated love's triumphs with great pomp and splendor.
