description Argues that the 'Amor divinus' figure in religious emblematics (eg. Vaenius' Amoris Divini Emblemata and Hugo's Pia Desideria) was influenced by the 16th century cults of the Guardian Angel and the Infant Jesus. The article traces this influence in iconography and behaviour of 'Amor divinus'.
