Corona delle Nobile et Virtuose Donne, Libro Terzo 1620

This woodcut by Cesare Vecellio, titled *Corona delle Nobile et Virtuose Donne, Libro Terzo,* is a title page for the third book of a series about virtuous and noble women. The artwork depicts a female figure standing within a classical architectural setting. She is surrounded by other figures, including a kneeling woman and two seated figures. The work is part of a larger project, *Corona delle Nobile et Virtuose Donne*, that highlights the achievements of women in history. The figures and setting are depicted in a realistic style common to European woodcut illustrations of the 17th century. Vecellio, a Venetian painter and printmaker, used this medium to illustrate his many publications, including those on costume, portraits, and history. The artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
