The ''Frontispiece to Nova Reperta'' (New Discoveries) is a renowned engraving created circa 1600 by the Flemish artist Theodor Galle (1571–1633), based on a design by the Italian Mannerist painter 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 from the late 16th century.

Stradano, who spent a significant portion of his career in Florence under the patronage of the Medici family, was known for his diverse subject matter, including scenes of everyday life, mythology, and history. His collaboration with Galle, a skilled engraver from Antwerp, resulted in the ''Nova Reperta'', a visual compendium that captures the spirit of the Renaissance with its emphasis on progress and human achievement.

The frontispiece itself is a rich allegorical composition that symbolizes the era's thirst for knowledge and the unearthing of new technologies. It features a central figure, possibly representing Europe, surrounded by various symbols and personifications of knowledge and discovery. The detailed imagery within the engraving provides insight into the world's expanding horizons during the Age of Exploration and the early modern period's scientific advancements.

As a significant work of art from the turn of the 17th century, the ''Frontispiece to Nova Reperta'' not only showcases the artistic collaboration between Stradano and Galle but also serves as a historical document, reflecting the intellectual and cultural zeitgeist of the time. It remains an important piece for scholars interested in the history of science, technology, and art, illustrating how these fields were visually interpreted and disseminated during the Renaissance.
