EDITORS COMMENTS
Untitled Valentine (Three Putti in Green Heart)," an exquisite and enigmatic work of art from the 19th century, remains an intriguing mystery, as the identity of its creator remains unknown. This collage, dating from approximately 1860-69, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of both America and England during this period. The collage is a stunning composition of cut and embossed ivory wove paper, adorned with collaged elements and gold paint. The central focus of the artwork is a heart-shaped design, filled with three cherubic putti, or amorini, playfully engaging with a pair of dogs. The putti, with their delicate wings and rosy cheeks, symbolize love and romance, while the dogs, with their expressive faces and eager postures, add a charming and whimsical touch. The green heart, bathed in a soft, verdant hue, is further embellished with intricate floral designs, adding an element of nature to the composition. The use of gold paint adds a touch of elegance and luxury, making this piece a true treasure from the past. This collage, with its depiction of cherubs and dogs, is reminiscent of the popular Victorian tradition of exchanging Valentine's Day cards. The artwork is a fascinating blend of techniques, showcasing the artist's skill and creativity. It is a delightful and romantic scene that continues to captivate viewers, inviting them to ponder the mysteries of the past and the enduring power of love. This historic artwork is now part of the impressive collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed for all to appreciate and enjoy. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century and the enduring power of love and romance in art.
