Amoretti is a poem by Edmund Spenser. In summary, Spenser says that when he wishes to think of higher things, his mind is bogged down by thoughts of mortality; but he comes to the conclusion that the way to ensure happiness is to find heaven among earthly things.
This beautiful painting by John Martono is painted on silk and framed in a 60mm deep natural oak gap frame.
