Silence is the life of love
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of contemplation and reflection in this 17th-century engraving by Otto Van Veen. The scene depicts an angel praising the virtue of silence, surrounded by a crowd in a bustling city street. The intricate details and symbolism in the artwork invite viewers to ponder the importance of communication, morality, and love.
The angel's gesture and expression convey a sense of serenity and wisdom, emphasizing the power of silence as a means to deepen connections with others. In a world filled with noise and distractions, this image serves as a reminder to pause, listen, and appreciate the beauty of quiet moments.
The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw viewers into the scene, inviting them to explore every detail within the crowded street setting. The banner waving in the background adds an element of movement and energy to contrast with the stillness embodied by the angel.
As we gaze upon this timeless artwork from centuries past, we are reminded that true love requires not only words but also attentive listening and understanding. "Silence is the life of love" encourages us to embrace moments of quiet reflection as essential components of building meaningful relationships rooted in virtue and compassion.
