Allegory of Carnal Love, c.1530 by Cristofano di Michele Martini Description: This print, created by Cristofano di Michele Martini around 1530, is an exquisite example of the allegorical art of the Italian Renaissance. The Allegory of Carnal Love, also known as Amor Vincit Omnia (Love Conquers All), is a masterful depiction of the triumph of love over other earthly desires. The scene unfolds on ivory laid paper, with engravings that reveal the artistic skill and detail characteristic of the period. In the center, a man and a woman, both nude, are entwined in an embrace, symbolizing their carnal love. Cherubs, or putti, playfully surround them, representing the divine approval of their union. Above, an angelic figure, possibly Cupid, looks down upon the lovers with a benevolent smile, signifying the blessing of their love. The scene is filled with a sense of harmony and unity, reflecting the cultural values of the time. Cristofano di Michele Martini, also known as Cristoforo di Michele Robetta, was an Italian engraver and draftsman, active in the artistic school of Florence. His works, like the Allegory of Carnal Love, are highly sought after for their intricate detail and masterful execution. This print is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
