Emblesmes de l'amour diuin
An emblem book by Otto van Veen, first published in Antwerp and here in a Paris printing of 1690, with a Latin motto beneath each circular engraving. The pictures are small, finely hatched copper-plate engravings of cherub-like winged figures in pastoral and architectural settings, with dramatic skies and framed oval compositions a designer could borrow for cameo or medallion layouts.
