"A Water Mill," plate 11 from the series "Nova Reperta" (New Discoveries), is a notable engraving created around 1600 by the Flemish artist and engraver Philip Galle (1537–1612), based on a design by the Italian artist Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet, 1523–1605). The "Nova Reperta" is a celebrated series of engravings that depict various technological innovations and discoveries of the late Renaissance period. This particular plate illustrates the operation of a water mill, showcasing the ingenuity and advancement of mechanical engineering during the era.

The image serves as a visual representation of the water-powered machinery used for grinding grain, a significant development in agricultural processing that reduced manual labor and increased efficiency. The engraving is rich in detail, providing insight into the construction and function of the mill, as well as the broader context of its use within society. The series as a whole reflects the spirit of inquiry and the value placed on knowledge and innovation during the Renaissance.

Philip Galle's engravings, including "A Water Mill," were influential in disseminating knowledge of new technologies throughout Europe. His collaboration with Stradano, who was known for his detailed and accurate illustrations, resulted in a body of work that not only served as an educational tool but also as an artistic achievement in its own right. The "Nova Reperta" remains an important historical record of the technological advancements that characterized the transition from the Renaissance to the early modern period.
