EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two putti try to make a fire Emblemes d Amour" captures the essence of unrequited love. Depicted are two cherubic figures desperately attempting to ignite a spark from a heart-shaped object by striking it with force, using a tinder box. However, their efforts prove futile as broken arrows lie scattered on the floor, symbolizing the failure of one-sided affection. The image serves as an allegory for the transient nature of infatuation that lacks reciprocation. Just like a spark that quickly fades away, unrequited love cannot sustain itself and is destined to perish. The artist skillfully conveys this message through intricate details and symbolism. Created in 1686 by Jan van Vianen in Northern Netherlands, this etching on paper measures 145 mm in height and 95 mm in width. It belongs to the eighth emblem from Emblemata Amatoria, which narrates tales of Cupid (Amor or Eros). This particular emblem explores the concept of love's inability to flourish without mutual feelings. The emotional depth portrayed within this artwork resonates with viewers who have experienced unreciprocated affection. It serves as a poignant reminder that true love requires both parties' devotion and commitment for it to thrive like an enduring flame rather than flicker out like an ephemeral spark.
