Art series

Some works belong together: one legend painted across the centuries, or one illustrated book plate by plate. Each series hangs in order, so you can follow it from the first picture to the last.

Saint George and the Dragon

The knight, the dragon and the rescued princess, painted again and again for a thousand years.

Sirens and Sea Monsters

Songs that wreck ships, mermaids on the rocks and the creatures sailors swore they saw.

Hilma af Klint

A Swedish painter who reached abstraction before anyone else, then kept her paintings hidden for decades.

Carl Larsson at Home

A red house in the Swedish countryside and the family inside it, painted room by room: the pictures that showed the world what a Swedish home could feel like.

Arnold Böcklin

Sea gods, centaurs and a silent island of the dead: a Swiss painter who made the old myths feel like dreams.

Gustave Moreau

Sphinxes, sirens and heroes hung with jewels: the old myths retold by a Paris painter who left his whole studio to the nation.

William Blake

Angels, demons and Dante's journey through the afterlife, painted by a London poet who said he saw them with his own eyes.

Atalanta Fugiens

Fifty alchemical emblems, each with a motto, an epigram and a fugue for three voices.

Le Temple des Muses

The classical myths in engraved plates, from the chaos before creation to the palace of sleep.

The masterworks Surrealium has printed for years, from the many worlds inside Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights to Botticelli and Blake, hung beside three works by Surrealium's founder, Damian Ardestani.

Love stories through the ages

Stolen kisses, last farewells, a swing in a summer garden and a knight kneeling at a lady's feet: the great love stories, told by the painters who believed in them.
