Answer 2

Dante Gabriel Rossetti -The wedding of St George and Princess Sabra. John Everett Millais- The Black Brunswicker and The Huguenot.

Answer 3

Surely a lot of art is in some way about love? Either feeling it, losing it, seeing it through others eyes?
I would say all the religous works depicting Christ & the Madonna are strictly about love - even if it is love of religion or church or of an icon.
Maybe all you need to get an answer to this is to look at some artwork & see how someone felt love when they were creating it!

Answer 4

How about anything to do with Cupid and Psyche? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupid_and_Psyche

How about the Arnofini Marriage?
Edvard Munch, The Kiss
Pierre Paul Prud'hon, Venus and Adonis (1810)
Titian, Venus and Adonis
