Amor Mundi. From Christine Rossettis Poem. c1850-1900, (1923). The tone of the poem in general describes in loss of hope and misery. At the first two stanzas, they begin the tale of the lovers on the top of a hill, radiating and floating in contentment. Yet as they continue to venture down the path off the hill, the exposure of grimness, darkness, and death becomes more prominent.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Amor Mundi" captures the essence of Christine Rossetti's poignant poem from the late 19th century. Created by talented artist Frederick Augustus Sandys in 1923, this piece beautifully portrays the tone of despair and hopelessness conveyed in Rossetti's verses. The image depicts a couple standing on top of a hill, radiating happiness and contentment. However, as they descend down the path, darkness and death loom over them, symbolizing their loss of hope. The monochrome gradient adds to the somber atmosphere, emphasizing the contrast between light and dark. Through this artwork, Sandys skillfully brings to life Rossetti's powerful words about love and its inevitable descent into misery. The couple represents all lovers who start their journey with joy but eventually face hardships that overshadow their initial bliss. Published in Geoffrey Holme's book "British Book Illustration - Yesterday and Today" this print serves as a visual representation of British literature from the early 20th century. It showcases Sandys' talent for capturing emotions through his artistry. Overall, "Amor Mundi" is a thought-provoking piece that encapsulates both beauty and sorrow within its composition. It reminds us of the fragility of love and how it can be tainted by life's harsh realities.
