Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae: The Fate of Dirce 1579 Georges Reverdy French This print comes from the museums copy of the Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae (The Mirror of Roman Magnificence) The Speculum found its origin in the publishing endeavors of Antonio Salamanca and Antonio Lafreri.

The prints could be bought individually by tourists and collectors, but were also purchased in larger groups which were often bound together in an album.

Raguel's Reception of Tobias at Ecbatana 1520-75 Pieter Aertsen Netherlandish Here depicted is the Old Testament story of Tobias at the House of Raguel. In the center foreground we see Raguel embracing the young Tobias, as he learns that this visitor is the son of his brother Tobit. Tobiass guardian, the archangel Raphael, recognizable by his wings, is standing behind them, while Raguels wife Anna and daughter Sara, shown to the right, are overcome by emotion. Upon hearing the joyful news, Raguel commands a sheep to be killed - which is pictured to the left - in preparation of a festive dinner.As is typical of the time, the artist incorporated various moments in the Old Testament story into the same image. Therefore, in the left background, we see Tobias and the Angel arriving at a lake, where Raphael subsequently encourages his companion to catch a fish that will help cure his fathers blindness. Finally, to the far right, Tobias is joined in matrimony to Raguels daughter Sarah.The
