Romeo and Juliet - Original SET - SOLD
Sold out
Kerry Darlington revisits one of literature’s most enduring love stories in her exquisite diptych 'Romeo and Juliet'. Inspired by William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, these portraits explore the intimate side of the star-crossed lovers, not in their moment of fate, but in a quiet reverie suspended between love and eternity.
Painted in Kerry’s signature warm sepia palette, the pair glows with the soft radiance of hand-applied gold leaf. Each face, serene and dreamlike, is surrounded by roses and butterflies, symbols of beauty, fragility and transformation. The composition invites the viewer to contemplate both the fleeting nature of love and its power to transcend mortality.
While Kerry’s earlier large-scale depiction of 'Romeo and Juliet' was rich with dramatic colour and theatre, this new interpretation is far more personal, intimate cameo portraits that whisper rather than declare. Through delicate tone, refined texture and subtle luminosity, Darlington evokes the story’s emotional essence: love that burns so bright it becomes immortal.

Experience and care with each order
Trading for over 30 years, we have made art our passion. Therefore we have developed a strict set of standards for the safe storage and dispatch of our precious works to our collectors. Our meticulous 12-point checklist ensures every work upholds our exacting quality standards when dispatching one of our artworks.
Starting at dispatch from the artist's studio, we've worked together with our community of artists to ensure delivery to the gallery is as meticulous as possible - each work packaged safe transit.
Upon arrival in our Weybridge showroom, each new arrival is examined by the studio & dispatch team. Frames are scrutinised for a perfect finish: glass is polished to perfection with anti-static art cloths. Auxiliary features like the string/wire and certification on the reverse are checked for positioning and correct mounting. Finally, the work itself is inspected to ensure a flawless transition from studio to gallery. Upon purchase, the work is cleaned again and meticulously subjected to our trademark 12-point checking system to ensure a safe secure journey to its ultimate destination.
With a network of framers, restorers, conservators and art dealers with over 50-years experience in the industry, you can rest assured your world-class art receives the highest level of scrutiny and care.
