Amoris divini emblemata, stvdio et aere Othonis Væni concinnata

Veen, Otto van, 1556-1629 · 1660 · Antverpiæ, Ex Officina Plantiniana Balthasaris Moreti · 62 pictures

Amoris divini emblemata is an emblem book compiled and engraved by Otto van Veen, printed at the Plantin Press in Antwerp in 1660 for readers of devotional emblems. Its pictures are small engraved scenes of winged cupid-like figures with halos, set in landscapes and architecture, each paired with a moral; a designer could take their dense crosshatching, cloud-and-sunburst skies, and compact allegorical staging as models for vintage line illustration.
