This work is part of a larger series that illustrates various technological innovations and discoveries from the late 16th century. The "Nova Reperta" series, which comprises a total of 20 plates, was a celebration of human progress and ingenuity, showcasing advancements ranging from the discovery of America to the invention of the printing press.
Plate 13 specifically depicts the process of olive oil production, a technique that had seen significant improvements during the Renaissance period. The scene is set in an olive mill, where workers are engaged in different stages of oil extraction. The image provides a detailed look at the traditional methods of olive oil production, including the grinding of olives into paste using a millstone, the pressing of the paste to extract the oil, and the collection of the oil in vessels.
The engraving is not only a testament to Stradano's skill as an artist but also serves as an important historical document, reflecting the technological and agricultural practices of the time. Philip Galle's precise and detailed engraving technique complements Stradano's design, resulting in a work that is both educational and aesthetically pleasing.
