Woodblock prints of the Cornucopia appear throughout several volumes of books published by Cesare Ripa (1560-1622). Ripa was an Italian aesthetician who was knighted after his book Iconologia (translation: “Moral Emblems”) was published. In all, 151 emblematic woodcuts illustrate subjects such as virtue, vice, passion, science, and art. The books were influential to painters throughout the 17th and 18th Centuries.
