This etching by Cornelis van Dalen I, created in 1643, is a title page for a bilingual dictionary by Ian Louys d'Arsy. The artwork features a title scroll held aloft by Mercury, Minerva, and two angels, and a frieze with nine muses playing musical instruments. The inscription at the bottom indicates the book was printed by Pieter van Waelberge in Rotterdam. Van Dalen's etching uses a dramatic composition and figures, highlighting the scholarly and important nature of the book. The use of classical figures and the musical muses also underscore the intellectual and cultural significance of this dictionary.
