The earliest known image of a heart that looks almost exactly like the modern version—with the distinct "scalloped" top and the point facing down—comes from the manuscript "Documenti d'amore" by Francesco Barberino, dated around 1320.
Essentially, he was a pioneer of "multi-media" storytelling in the Middle Ages—he insisted that complex philosophical and emotional ideas (like love) could not be fully understood through text alone and required allegorical images to be effective.
My favorite thing about the shape of a heart is that there is no single, perfect heart shape. They’re all perfect. With my hearts, what you see in them, what moves you, is the story that only you can tell, as it’s not my heart anymore. It’s now your heart, or decide to give it to.
The one constant, is that wherever these hearts find themselves, they are always a gift of love that starts with me, and continue giving love forever." - KURZ
