Amoris diuini et humani antipathia is a 1628 Paris emblem book in Latin and French by Michel van Lochom, published by Jean Moncornet and held by the Getty Research Institute. Its small engraved emblems of children and angels, drawn in a Counter-Reformation devotional manner, use simple gestures of offering, receiving and striving to show the contrast between divine and human love. A designer could take from them the clear, legible staging of paired figures and a restrained, hatched line style suited to allegorical scenes.
