De on-ghemaskerde liefde des Hemels : tot weder-liefde door verscheyden beweegh-redenen, aen-spraecken ende betrachtinghen : verciert met schoone sinne-belden
A devotional emblem book printed in Antwerp in 1686 by the widow of Joris Willemsens, with engravings by Gaspard Bouttats and Godfried Maes, written by Joannes à Castro for a Flemish-reading lay audience. The pictures are small woodcut-style flower baskets, each a bouquet of roses and peonies in a woven basket with spreading leaves, and a designer could draw on their dense hatched textures and symmetrical, frame-filling arrangements.
