"The Production of Olive Oil," plate 13 from the "Nova Reperta" (New Discoveries) series, is an engraving created around 1600 that illustrates the contemporary process of olive oil extraction. Engraved by Philip Galle (1537–1612), a notable engraver and print publisher from the Netherlands, the work is 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 from the late 16th century, ranging from the discovery of America to the invention of the printing press and gunpowder.

This particular plate provides a detailed visual account of the stages involved in producing olive oil, a commodity that has been essential in Mediterranean cultures for centuries. The scene is set within a rustic yet industrious landscape, where workers are shown engaged in different tasks associated with olive oil production, such as picking olives, crushing them with a millstone, and pressing the mash to extract the oil. The illustration serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the era's interest in the mechanics of everyday life and the advancements in agricultural practices.

The "Nova Reperta" series, and by extension "The Production of Olive Oil," reflects the period's spirit of inquiry and the value placed on knowledge and innovation during the Renaissance. The work is significant for its artistic merit, its contribution to the documentation of historical practices, and its role in disseminating knowledge about new technologies across Europe. Philip Galle's engravings, after Stradano's designs, were instrumental in the spread of technical and scientific ideas, making "The Production of Olive Oil" an important piece within the context of the history of science and art.
