"Love Conquers All"
The painting illustrates the line from Virgil's Eclogues X.69, Omnia Vincit Amor et nos cedamus amori ("Love conquers all; let us all yield to love!"). A musical manuscript on the floor shows a large "V":
1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
Revelation 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

[When I was a young girl I used to dream of a lover
To be my shining knight of strength one day
He'd cary me to a castle in the heavens
and battle all my dragons on the way
And he'd ride down on a great white horse
He'd bring me love I was longing for
He'd bring me joy and lasting peace
On a great white horse he'd ride away with me
Singing dum-di-di-dum-dum dum-di-di-dum]
When I was a young man I used to dream of a maiden
With long soft hair flowing in the wind
Her laughing eyes and loving arms would follow
When I'd sailed around the world and back again
And I'd ride down on a great white horse
I'd bring the love she was longing for
I'd bring her laughter and sunny days
And on a great white horse I'd carry her away
Singing dum-di-di-dum-dum dum-di-di-dum
[The time has flown I find there are no dragons]
and I don't want to sail the seven seas
[Anywhere we are becomes my castle]
and the only world I want is here with me
And we both ride on a great white horse
We found the love we were longing for
[You're my sunshine on a rainy day]
You're my April you're my May
Singing dum-di-di-dum-dum dum-di-di-dum
Singing dum-di-di-dum-dum dum-di-di-dum
Singing dum-di-di-dum-dum dum-di-di-dum
A Restored Vermeer Painting Reveals a Hidden Cupid Artwork Hanging in the Background
Lots of fun banter but the simple news is that the big guy in the background (using his bow as a staff) has been revealed.
Everything in its proper time and place.
Here is the beginning of this post about love:
Worthy To Escape
What L is
L can be thought of as being built in "stages" resembling the construction of von Neumann universe, V.

God is such a "hopeless romantic" that the Prince Charming He has lovingly designed [to rescue His Damsel in Distress] is beyond comprehension and recognition, except to the actual Damsel in Distress.
When something looks too good to be true it usually is. Usually.
Prince Charming is "the knight on the white horse". On the Hebrew Wiki page that's his name/title.
It really is right out of a fairy tale. Who would ever believe it?
Ezekiel 11
19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Luke 17
20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it.
23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them.
24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day.
The time has flown I find there are no dragons
and I don't want to assail the seven seals
Anywhere we are becomes my castle
You're my sunshine on a rainy day
