Frontispiece: a monument decorated with the Medici coat of arms at top in center, flames at top to either side, a hooded figure on right side of monument with a weasel below, a figure to left side wearing a papal crown, a scene of a monk chasing away demons with a cross on base of monument, from 'Frontispiece and four scenes from the life of Saint John Gualbert' (Frontispice et quatre vignettes pour une vie de Saint Jean Gualbert) 1640

This etching by Stefano della Bella, dating from 1640, is the frontispiece for a book about the life of Saint John Gualbert. The elaborate design features a central monument with the Medici coat of arms at the top. Flanking the monument are two figures: a hooded figure holding a weasel on the right and a figure with a papal crown on the left. The base of the monument shows a scene of a monk using a cross to chase away demons, further referencing Saint John Gualbert's life. This work demonstrates Della Bella's skill in creating intricate and detailed etchings that combine religious themes with historical and symbolic elements.
