 Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera had a love story filled with erratic passion and a fire that could ignite a pool of water.  Meeting in the halls of the Public Ministry of Education Frida captured the attention of the already famous artist Diego Rivera with her talent and her riotous personality. The two were wed in 1929 against the protests of her mother and with the warning to Diego from her father “Frida is a clever girl, but she is un demonio oculto- a concealed devil!” While the difference in age was an ample 20 years the two bonded on an intellectual level that was unshakable; serving as each other’s most trusted confidants and most honest artistic critics.

Marie Curie and husband Pierre Curie were partners in the pursuit of both love and science. The pair met Sorbonne University in Paris. Enamored by Marie’s intense passion in the field of science and discovery Pierre proposed to Marie. Refusing at first, upon Pierre’s insistence that even if he were reduced to teaching French in her native Poland he would follow her anywhere, Marie accepted. The two would go on to be pioneers in the field radiation and came to coin the term “radioactive.” The couple was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1903.
