Romeo and Juliet
This classic Shakespearean romantic pairing doesn’t really need an introduction. There are so many visual versions of the most famous scenes from this tragic love story, (mainly the infamous balcony meeting and the devastating death scene at the end of the play). These are some of my favourite depictions of both Romeo and Juliet, (there are some lovely paintings of Juliet on her own which I will try and post shortly).
