Description: This emblem depicts a chalice in the clouds shining down on an angel who grasps his hands in prayer and sheds tears on a woman’s outstretched heart. The image is titled with the Latin BALNEUM CORDIS EX SUDORE SANGUINEO, which translates “the bathing of the heart with the bloody sweat,” and is accompanied by the text of Ezekiel 24:12. This is the forty-first in a series of 47 emblems published anonymously and adapted from Benedictine writer Benedict van Haeften's Schola Cordis (1629).
