The association with birds & #ValentinesDay can be traced from Chaucer's 'Parliament of Fowls' in the Middle Ages, when the idea of handwritten valentines first became popular. Spot these love birds in the Arab Hall at Leighton House 💕

‘Leighton and Landscape’ at Leighton House and Sambourne House gives visitors the chance to accompany the artist on his journeys across Europe and beyond. As no journals by the artist are known, the sketches act as a compelling visual diary. Read Christopher Baker's review: burlington.org.uk/archive/back-i…
