Imagines deorum is a 1581 Latin mythography by Vincenzo Cartari, expanded by Antoine Du Verdier, printed at Lyon by Barthélemy Honorat for scholars and readers interested in ancient gods and rites. Its woodcuts show classical deities in figure groups, often with attributes, processions and sacrifices, and a designer might borrow their Renaissance staging of antique myth, its crowded compositions and emblematic props.
