EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that beautifully captures the essence of courtship in the 18th century. Created by Jean Mathieu after Jean Honore Fragonard, this enchanting image transports us back to a time of romance and elegance. In this oval-shaped portrait, two cherubs are depicted in an idyllic garden setting. The angelic figures symbolize love and devotion as they engage in a tender kiss. Their delicate features and intricate details showcase the mastery of engraving and etching techniques employed by Mathieu. The concept of courtship is at the heart of this artwork, with the male figure passionately expressing his affection towards his female counterpart. The scene exudes an air of innocence and purity, capturing a moment frozen in time. As we gaze upon "The Pledge of Love" we are reminded of the rich heritage art that has shaped our understanding of love throughout history. This piece exemplifies the Rococo style popular during the 18th century with its emphasis on ornate details and romantic themes. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to both Mathieu's skillful interpretation and Fragonard's original masterpiece. It invites viewers to reflect on timeless notions such as promises made between two people bound by love. "The Pledge of Love" evokes emotions within us all - reminding us that even centuries later, expressions of love remain universal and everlasting.
