In this truly beautiful book, Andrea Zanatelli combines his extraordinary artworks with a selection of classical love poetry by Anne Brontë, William Blake, Christina Rossetti, Emily Dickinson, Percy Shelley and many more.Drawing its inspiration from the past,
Love is Enough references the decorative arts of a bygone era, and is a combination of
romantic imagery,
antique fabrics and
allegorical illustrations, mixed with poems and mottos. Often mistaken for real embroidery pieces, the artworks are in fact very detailed and intricate
digital collages, made to look and feel like handcrafted works.
Zanatelli is strongly influenced by the
Arts and Crafts movement and the
Pre-Raphaelites as well as eighteenth-century collage artist and creator of the Flora Delanica, Mary Delany, among others. Recurring themes in his work are
romantic love, magical symbols, Victorian era craftsmanship, historical nun's work and relics. Details of paintings, ancient fabrics, antique jewellery and miniatures are also returning elements as they often become an integral part of the
inspiration for the collages themselves.
This stunning book is full of
intricate detail and
brimming with romance, so you can return to its pages again and again.
