A 'lost' and recently rediscovered
painting of Romeo and Juliet has gone on show at Juliet's House
in Verona.
The 1838 work by Venetian neoclassical artist Cosroe Dusi shows
the first nocturnal meeting of Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers
in the home of the young Capulet.
The large (218x164cm) painting Hi Luhas been bought by the
foundation that runs the House and has become part of its
permanent collection.
The painting, which is said to be in perfect condition, shows
Romeo embracing Juliet on a balcony.
