Emblem med to hjerter og Treenigheden 1609 - 1672

"Emblem med to hjerter og Treenigheden" is a small, anonymous engraving from the 17th century, now held in the collection of SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The piece, only 63mm high by 49mm wide, depicts a complex emblem composed of intertwined hearts, a cross, a dove, and two figures. The heart, a common symbol of love and devotion in Christian imagery, is here presented as a vessel for the Holy Trinity. The figures, likely representing God the Father and God the Son, are placed within the hearts, while the Holy Spirit, symbolized by a dove, hovers between them. This intricate composition highlights the interconnectedness and unity of the Christian Trinity, further emphasized by the floral motifs and the cross at the top, suggesting life, hope, and faith.
