Summary
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。

So on the one hand this was a perfectly serviceable gift book with lush Victorian needlepoint （but really photoshop collage） and classic love poetry （your Shakespearean Sonnets， Bronte sisters， Byron， and oddly Emily Dickenson）。 But it was a really disjointed reading experience for me。 On the one hand， the art was really exciting。 It felt sort of like a Baz Luhrmann film - bright and spiritual and technicolor and full or over the top emotion and technically proficient。 But on the other hand， the So on the one hand this was a perfectly serviceable gift book with lush Victorian needlepoint （but really photoshop collage） and classic love poetry （your Shakespearean Sonnets， Bronte sisters， Byron， and oddly Emily Dickenson）。 But it was a really disjointed reading experience for me。 On the one hand， the art was really exciting。 It felt sort of like a Baz Luhrmann film - bright and spiritual and technicolor and full or over the top emotion and technically proficient。 But on the other hand， the poems were so familiar and so what you would expect in a love poetry collection that the cliché was a bit numbing。 It just felt strange to have this exciting art paired with standard poetry in a way that the sum was less then the whole of its parts。 **Thanks to the artist， publisher， and NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

A lovely little escape。 I’ve been a fan of Andrea’s artwork for quite sometime now and have found myself moved by each art piece within this book。 This work includes poetry by Emily Dickinson， Christina Rossetti， William Blake， William Shakespeare and other poets。 Love is Enough is a collection of love， art， and poetry mixed with collages and motifs of embroidered， floral and religious and lovers eye pieces， as well as artwork by Dante Gabriel Rossetti， whom I adore。 If you love poetry and art， A lovely little escape。 I’ve been a fan of Andrea’s artwork for quite sometime now and have found myself moved by each art piece within this book。 This work includes poetry by Emily Dickinson， Christina Rossetti， William Blake， William Shakespeare and other poets。 Love is Enough is a collection of love， art， and poetry mixed with collages and motifs of embroidered， floral and religious and lovers eye pieces， as well as artwork by Dante Gabriel Rossetti， whom I adore。 If you love poetry and art， this is for you。 。。。more

I received an eARC copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This exciting adventure felt like a slight disappointment as I expected to see not only the author's extraordinary art pieces but his love poems as well， intertwined with some of the classical love verses we all know and cherish。 The collection presents some of the finest works by Emily Dickinson， William Shakespeare， William Blake， Anne Brontë， and many more。 It would have been such a delight t I received an eARC copy from Andrews McMeel Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。This exciting adventure felt like a slight disappointment as I expected to see not only the author's extraordinary art pieces but his love poems as well， intertwined with some of the classical love verses we all know and cherish。 The collection presents some of the finest works by Emily Dickinson， William Shakespeare， William Blake， Anne Brontë， and many more。 It would have been such a delight to see how the author's verses， along with the outstanding artwork， would match these love poems that had given so much inspiration。 The artwork itself deserves a detailed book about it。 The embroidery， the antique materials used， the romantic imagery， the delicate lines， all the beauty of these love words have been brought to life in them。 Everything is just perfectly aligned and matched， brought to perfection， and presented here in this poetry selection to take your breath away。 。。。more

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an eARC of this title in exchange for my honest review。If you are drawn to this book because of the cover， then I think you will thoroughly enjoy this book。 The author’s art is what really brings this collection of popular poetry about love to life。 They provide beautiful art that visually conveys what the poems say with words。 I really enjoyed how bright， lively， and yet intimate the art was。 I connected with the majority of the poems， and Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an eARC of this title in exchange for my honest review。If you are drawn to this book because of the cover， then I think you will thoroughly enjoy this book。 The author’s art is what really brings this collection of popular poetry about love to life。 They provide beautiful art that visually conveys what the poems say with words。 I really enjoyed how bright， lively， and yet intimate the art was。 I connected with the majority of the poems， and because of this book I was able to be introduced to many other poets/authors’ works that I ended up delighting in。 。。。more

Stunning mixed-media art accompanying a selection of poems about love。 Most of the poems were lesser-known， at least to me， so it was interesting to see less familiar work from familiar artists。 There wasn't exactly a unifying set of criteria for what poetry was featured， though it was skewed heavily toward British artists from the 17th - 19th century。 This would make a unique and sentimental gift for a partner。 It's definitely beautiful and would be a memorable keepsake。Many thanks to the publi Stunning mixed-media art accompanying a selection of poems about love。 Most of the poems were lesser-known， at least to me， so it was interesting to see less familiar work from familiar artists。 There wasn't exactly a unifying set of criteria for what poetry was featured， though it was skewed heavily toward British artists from the 17th - 19th century。 This would make a unique and sentimental gift for a partner。 It's definitely beautiful and would be a memorable keepsake。Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review！ 。。。more

This book is very specific。 I believe if the cover speaks to you， you will find it at least interesting， if not truly wonderful。This book is the celebration of Andrea Zanatelli's embroidery， which has its very own style， in a Florence Welch vibe， a very British， Victorian， kind of way。 There are broken hearts， bleeding hearts， eyes filled hearts， ribbons holding words， flowers， along with miniature artwork very well chosen to complete the embroidery。 The poems match the embroidery and the art wo This book is very specific。 I believe if the cover speaks to you， you will find it at least interesting， if not truly wonderful。This book is the celebration of Andrea Zanatelli's embroidery， which has its very own style， in a Florence Welch vibe， a very British， Victorian， kind of way。 There are broken hearts， bleeding hearts， eyes filled hearts， ribbons holding words， flowers， along with miniature artwork very well chosen to complete the embroidery。 The poems match the embroidery and the art work so there are not all of them a celebration of fulfilled love。 In this sense， this is book perfect to be gifted to people loving this style， it's a pretty niched publication。 I received a copy of this in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

4 starsI went into this under the impression that this was going to be the artist’s own original poems， so that caught me off guard a bit but I still really enjoyed the beauty of her artwork and the pairings she made with the poetry and art she placed together。 So on that side of things this was a very well curated collection。 Also added in the curation category I felt that the subtle changing color palette for the pages to fit with the different tones in art and poetry that the artist was showc 4 starsI went into this under the impression that this was going to be the artist’s own original poems， so that caught me off guard a bit but I still really enjoyed the beauty of her artwork and the pairings she made with the poetry and art she placed together。 So on that side of things this was a very well curated collection。 Also added in the curation category I felt that the subtle changing color palette for the pages to fit with the different tones in art and poetry that the artist was showcasing was a fantastic level of attention to detail。 Being able to juggle the artwork， the poetry， and the color palette in a way that was subtle enough to get the readers attention， but not so heavy-handed that it hindered the collection was so nice to see。Something else I really enjoyed was the foreword by Florence Welch which was really a gorgeous surprise。 Welch’s words about Zanatelli and Zanatelli’s work were so genuine and from the heart it was really lovely to read and setup the book beautifully。 Overall this was such a stunning collection， not just visually but the pairings Zanatelli created and weaved together were so well done。 Definitely recommend！ And would recommend following the artist on instagram she posts such inspiring work， it's a nice visual treat。 ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review 。。。more
