Emblemata amatoria is a 1618 emblem book published in Amsterdam by W. Ianszoon, written by Daniel Heinsius (1580-1655) in Dutch, French and Latin for readers of love poetry and moral emblems. Its pictures are fine line engravings of a winged Cupid in small landscape scenes, each paired with a motto, and a designer might borrow their compact allegorical staging, figure poses and sunlit garden settings.
