The day itself has transformed from its origins in ancient Roman fertility rites to become a celebration of love in all its forms. This week we explore four artistic interpretations of love, each offering a different perspective on the subject. This is part of our 'Four things to see' series that offers you a new way into some of the world's greatest collections, sponsored by Bloomberg Connects: the free arts and culture app.      More from Apollo Current issue | Advertise | Podcasts   View this email in your browser   Follow us Apollo Magazine, 22 Old Queen Street, London, SW1H 9HP.
