Untitled Valentine (Putti on Blue Ground),
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite and enigmatic work of art from the 19th century, remains an intriguing mystery, as its creator remains unknown. This valentine, estimated to be from around 1850, originated in America but bears striking similarities to English artistic traditions. The collaged elements on cut and embossed designed ivory wove paper showcase a harmonious blend of color and white, with the blue background providing a serene backdrop for the playful putti or cherubs. These cherubic figures, with their rosy cheeks and mischievous grins, are a common motif in romantic art and symbolize love and amorini. The floral design, with its delicate, flowered details, adds to the overall romantic scene, further emphasizing the theme of love and romance. This historic artifact, now preserved in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century. Its collage technique, which was not a common practice during this time, adds to its allure and makes it a unique addition to any art collection or exhibition. The putti on blue ground valentine is a beautiful example of the romantic concept that love knows no boundaries, transcending time and place. It invites us to reflect on the history of love and the enduring power of art to evoke emotions and inspire wonder. Whether admired in a gallery or cherished in a private collection, this exquisite work of art continues to captivate and delight, reminding us of the beauty and complexity of love.
