Les mysteres de l'amour divin : avec des reflexions morales, tirées de l'ecriture sainte & des saints peres
A French edition of Otto van Veen's emblem book on divine love, issued in Paris by Jean Mariette in 1719 for devout readers, pairing engraved emblems with captions and moral verses drawn from scripture and the Church Fathers. Each plate sets a haloed winged Amor Divinus and the winged Soul in an open landscape with distant towns, castles and crosses, acting out one motto per page; useful for allegorical figure poses, captioned emblem frames, and stock backgrounds of hills, trees and clouded skies rendered in fine engraved line.
