The "Frontispiece to Nova Reperta" (New Discoveries) is a renowned engraving created around 1600 by Theodor Galle (1571–1633), based on a design by Flemish artist Giovanni Stradano, also known as Jan van der Straet (1523–1605). This work serves as the introductory illustration for the "Nova Reperta," a series of engravings that depict various technological innovations and discoveries of the late 16th century. The series is significant for its representation of the era's advancements and the burgeoning curiosity during the Age of Exploration.

The frontispiece itself is a richly detailed allegorical composition that encapsulates the spirit of human discovery and invention. It features a central figure, possibly representing Europe, surrounded by symbols and personifications of knowledge and new technologies that were transforming the world at the time. Among these are references to the discovery of the Americas, the invention of the printing press, and improvements in navigation and mapmaking.

The "Nova Reperta" series as a whole includes depictions of such innovations as the distillation of alcohol, the use of the magnetic compass, and the production of silk. The works are not only artistically significant but also serve as historical documents that provide insight into the technological and scientific mindset of the late Renaissance.

Theodor Galle was a prominent engraver in Antwerp, and his collaboration with Stradano on this project brought together Stradano's detailed designs with Galle's skilled engraving techniques. The "Frontispiece to Nova Reperta" is a testament to their combined talents and stands as an important work of art from the period, reflecting the excitement and optimism of an age that was rapidly expanding its horizons.
