Love Stories at Hermitage Amsterdam

More than a hundred portraits from the National Portrait Gallery, London, are part of Love Stories – Art, Passion & Tragedy at Hermitage Amsterdam. The sensational exhibition comprises some of the most cherished masterpieces from the renowned collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London. The European premiere of this exhibition at the Hermitage Amsterdam will display over a hundred portraits about love in all its forms rarely seen outside the London-based gallery on such a scale.
