To an art historian, an emblem may provide the meaning for a parallel image in a painting, since an emblem is often explicated by its accompanying poem.
For the historian of ideas, emblemata may show that concepts found in one area-religion or politics, for example-can often be found in another, such as the visual arts.
And, finally, literary scholars can use these books to help establish the milieu in which a particular work was written, thereby aiding them with such problems as the interpretation of allegory or the source of a given literary image.

Its title corresponds exactly to Van Veen's printed Italian title, while the last line of the poem refers to the emblem; as Grove explains, 'although the poem has the external context of the 'je' persona, the last two lines clarify the play between the poem's specific situation and the emblem's general import.

 Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.02.39
The majority of these are emblemata: small panels, averaging less a metre square, created in their own supporting trays of stone or terracotta, and destined to be inserted into the middle of a floor made in quite a different technique.
The Alexander and the Nile mosaics are treated separately; subsequently a thematic arrangement is adopted, with chapters devoted successively to fish, birds, felines wild and tame, scenes of the stage, human life (a rather mixed bunch), and the comparatively few mythological subjects.
What the specialist in ancient art may miss here is any discussion of the underlying questions that these mosaics raise: the relationship to painting, the use of models, and their connection with the other mosaic tradition, both older and longer-lasting, which aims at two-dimensional decoration of a floor surface.

The humanistic and moralistic content of his works belongs to the period of the Renaissance, although the form was more conservative and characteristic to the rederijkers.
Visscher was a specialist in the epigram, but he also wrote emblemata.

Andreas Alciat was born on May 8, 1492 in Milan or nearby Alzate, the son of a prosperous merchant.
Alciat's Liber Emblemata was the first of many emblem books that were the literary vogue in the 16th century.
At this time interest in the newly rediscoved Egyptian hieroglyphics ran high among the educated and the emblem books were, in part, an attempt to define a pictographic language.

The father of emblem literature was the 16th-century Italian lawyer and humanist Andrea Alciato, with the Emblemata (Latin; 1531), which appeared in translation and in more than 150 editions.
English emblem books were either printed in the Netherlands or made by combining English text with foreign engravings, as in the English edition of the Amorum Emblemata, Figuris Aeneis Incisa (1608) of Octavius Vaenius (Otto van Veen), an important early Dutch emblem book.
In Vaenius' Amoris Divini Emblemata (1615), quotations from St. Augustine replace those of Ovid, and Cupid reappears as the soul's preceptor.

Although Peacham's pictures are not reproduced in colour, each emblem appears together with the editor's verbal description of the picture for indexing, as in the Index generally, and the colours, which complement the symbolism, are thus editorially noted.
Produced in 1621-22 long after Minerva Britanna, Peacham's final emblem book was his manuscript Emblemata Varia, again an approach to a potential patron, Sir Julius Caesar, Master of Rolls for life as of 1614, and an influential administrator under James.
Differing markedly in content from the previous Basilikon Doron manuscripts and Minerva Britanna, this collection of twenty emblems in pen and ink is a fresh departure for Peacham, though his last known work in the genre.

Jones was never a fierce colorist—one sometimes had the sense that his music, like Bach's, could be played on many different instruments and still make its effect—he worked hard to exploit fully the resources of his chosen vessel.
He has had music played by the New York Philharmonic; the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation; the BBC; the National Symphony Orchestra; and the San Francisco, St. Louis, and Dallas Symphonies among many others.

Description: 'Amoris divini emblemata' is Vaenius' reworking of his earlier book of secular love emblems, 'Amorum emblemata'.
Like the earlier book, 'Amoris divini emblemata' became very influential.
The presence of Amor Divinus (divine love) and Anima (the human soul) in the picture was taken up in many later emblem books.
