"Quatriregio (Four Realms)" is a woodcut print from 1508 by the Italian artist Federico Frezzi. It is part of a larger work and shows two scenes from the *Libro de' quattro reggimenti*, a moral allegory Frezzi wrote between 1380 and 1390. Frezzi's allegory describes the trials and tribulations of a man's journey through life. The woodcut print is part of an illustrated manuscript of the *Libro*. The scenes within the frame illustrate the *Libro* and the accompanying text. "Quatriregio" is now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
