Art history’s greatest kisses
- Ain Sahkri Lovers, (c 10,000 BC)
- Found in a cave near Bethlehem and now in the collection of the British Museum, this sculpture was made at the dawn of the age of agriculture – and is the oldest known depiction of sexual love. Though the couple have no faces, and though their genders cannot be determined, they are clearly kissing: two lovers, hewn from a single stone and fused for millennia. (Bible Land Pictures/Alamy)
