EDITORS COMMENTS
Sweet is Evening's Tranquil Time (Valentine)," an exquisite and enigmatic work of art from the 19th century, captivates the viewer with its intricate design and profound metaphorical meaning. The antique print, created by an unknown artist, showcases a romantic scene of lovebirds perched on a fountain, surrounded by a lush garden filled with various flowers and plants. The tranquil setting is further enhanced by the gentle flow of water from the fountain, adding to the serene atmosphere. This engraving with hand coloring on ivory card, believed to have originated in America around 1830, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the time. The intricate floral designs and the delicate hand-tinting add an element of elegance and sophistication to the piece. The use of blue and other colors in the artwork adds depth and dimension, making it a true work of art. The title of the print, "Sweet is Evening's Tranquil Time (Valentine)," suggests that the scene depicted is a metaphor for the beauty and peacefulness of love. The lovebirds, symbolizing the deep connection and devotion between two people, find solace and happiness in each other's company, just as the flowers bloom in the tranquil evening time. This beautiful piece of art, now a valuable antique, has stood the test of time and continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its timeless message of love and romance. It is a treasure to be admired in art galleries and museums, such as the Art Institute of Chicago, where it can be exhibited and enjoyed by generations to come.
