I'm not sure what this painter was thinking, but I personally interpret this as...

This red bird could never find true love. Try as he may, his dreams for true love world were for naught. As he became a more desperate bird, this forlorn creature slowly turned to the dark side. In this image, we see the destitute red bird just after meeting a potential mate. Once in love herself, she did not reciprocate his love. So he ripped out her (still beating) heart, and posed for the artist to carve and paint him.

But that's just me...
