Even in the Western world, which seems completely accustomed to a widespread appearance of risqu images, an erotic painting from five hundred years ago can still manage to create a sensation. This book, the fifteenth title in the popular Guide to Imagery series, is a delightful romp through the portrayal of love and sexuality in artageold subjects depicted in all cultures. The volume surveys Western artworks illustrating more or less explicitly delicate or amorous subjects. The gamut of possibilities is vast, ranging from chaste tenderness to overwhelming frenzies of the senses, from Classical allusion to sexual fantasy.A series of general themes is presented, with a detailed reading of the significance and symbolic content of the individual works illustrating each theme. In the paintings of the past, the reader will encounter gestures, objects, places, and situations that seem familiar and that offer the traditional setting of love scenes from every epoch. The volume closes with a chapter highlighting some of the most famous couples of all time.

Interesting, but not for everyone
I found some aspects of the book really intriguing, especially the analysis of specific pieces. However, it does get a bit dense at times. Not sure if everyone will appreciate its depth. Worth checking out if you're into art history!
