EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece to Francis Quarles Emblems, engraved by William Faithorne and William Marshall in 1635, is a true masterpiece of symbolism. The English School artists skillfully depict the essence of Quarles' poetry and his status as a renowned writer. At first glance, the portrait reveals a distinguished male figure, undoubtedly representing Quarles himself. His presence exudes wisdom and authority, emphasizing his role as an esteemed author. Surrounding him are various symbolic elements that enhance the visual narrative. The coat of arms prominently displayed signifies both Quarles' lineage and his literary achievements. It serves as a testament to his noble heritage and intellectual prowess. Adjacent to it lies a heart engulfed in flames, symbolizing passion and intensity - qualities often found within the poet's verses. Above him hovers a sacred crown held by cherubic putti or angels. This celestial imagery suggests divine inspiration bestowed upon Quarles' work, elevating it beyond mere mortal creation. The title page itself is adorned with intricate emblems that further enrich its meaning. Each emblem represents different themes explored throughout the collection of poems: love, virtue, faithfulness, among others. These symbols invite readers into an enchanting world where words intertwine with profound concepts. In this remarkable print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we witness not only an exquisite example of 17th-century engraving but also glimpse into the poetic universe crafted by Francis Quarles—a realm where beauty meets intellectuality through powerful symbolism.
