Emblemata amatoria is a 1618 Amsterdam emblem book of love poetry by Pieter Corneliszoon Hooft, with engravings by Pieter Serwouters, printed in Dutch, French and Latin for educated readers. The pictures are small engraved scenes of Cupid in everyday settings, with fine hatched shading, open landscapes and architecture, useful to a designer for compact allegorical vignettes that pair a figure with a clear symbolic action.
