The World That Is (Valentine),
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite and enigmatic work of art from the 19th century, is a captivating example of the romantic and artistic sensibilities of the time. This intricately detailed engraving with hand coloring and traces of graphite on ivory card, measures approximately 11.5 x 8.5 centimeters, and its origins remain a mystery. The scene depicts a charming Valentine's Day tableau, with cherubs and putti, or amorini, frolicking among an abundance of lush, floral arrangements. The cherubs, with their chubby bodies and mischievous grins, represent the joy and playfulness of love. The delicate floral designs, with their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, symbolize the beauty and allure of nature. The hand-tinted and hand-colored engraving is a testament to the artisanal skills of the past. The engraver's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the fine lines and shading, while the hand coloring adds depth and richness to the image. The use of graphite adds texture and contrast, creating a three-dimensional effect. This antique Valentine's Day card is a cherished artifact, a glimpse into the romantic and artistic culture of the 19th century. It is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the importance of preserving our heritage. The card is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. The poem inscribed on the reverse of the card, with its message of love and longing, adds an extra layer of meaning to this beautiful work of art. The poem, which is not visible in this image, is a poignant reminder of the power of words to express the deepest emotions. This unknown masterpiece, with its timeless message and exquisite craftsmanship, is a treasure of American art history and a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the world around us.
