EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Emblemata Secularia, 1611" by Theodore de Bry. The artwork, created in the 17th century, depicts an allegorical scene filled with symbolism and emotion. In the center of the composition stands a cherubim-like figure, adorned with angelic wings and armed with a bow and arrow - Cupid himself. Surrounding him are various naked figures representing love, romance, and nature. The woodcut engraving captures the essence of passion as lovers engage in intimate moments amidst lush vegetation. The artist skillfully portrays their vulnerability through nudity while emphasizing their connection to the natural world. A sense of secrecy is conveyed as cherubs playfully spy on these amorous encounters from behind trees. Intricate details bring this seventeenth-century masterpiece to life; every line etched into the woodcut tells a story of desire and longing. De Bry's expertise in capturing human emotions shines through as he explores themes of love, warfare, and human nature. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this emblematic work continues to captivate viewers centuries later. Its timeless beauty transcends time and reminds us that love is both universal and eternal.
