"The Morning Of St. Valentine" is a notable painting by the English artist John Callcott Horsley, created in 1865. Horsley, who was an accomplished painter and illustrator, is perhaps best known for designing the first commercial Christmas card. However, "The Morning Of St. Valentine" stands out as a significant work in his oeuvre, reflecting the Victorian era's fascination with romantic and sentimental themes.

The painting captures a tender and intimate moment, characteristic of the Victorian ideal of love and courtship. It depicts a young woman receiving a valentine, a symbol of affection and admiration, on the morning of St. Valentine's Day. The scene is set in a well-appointed interior, with meticulous attention to detail in the furnishings and attire, which is typical of Horsley's style. The artist's use of light and shadow enhances the emotional depth of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the expressions and gestures of the figures.

Horsley's work often explored themes of domesticity and social customs, and "The Morning Of St. Valentine" is no exception. The painting not only illustrates a personal moment but also reflects broader societal norms and practices related to love and courtship during the 19th century. The careful composition and the warm, inviting palette contribute to the painting's overall charm and historical significance.

"The Morning Of St. Valentine" is part of a broader tradition of Victorian genre painting, which sought to depict everyday life and its emotional undercurrents with a sense of realism and narrative clarity. Horsley's ability to convey nuanced human emotions and his attention to the subtleties of domestic life have earned this painting a respected place in the history of Victorian art.
