"Windmills, plate 12 from Nova Reperta (New Discoveries)" is an engraving that forms part of a series created by the Flemish artist Jan van der Straet, known as Giovanni Stradano, and engraved by Philip Galle. The series, produced around 1600, illustrates various technological innovations and discoveries of the time. Stradano was an artist of the Northern Renaissance, active in Italy, and his works often reflected the era's interest in science, exploration, and invention.

The "Nova Reperta" series, which translates to "New Discoveries" from Latin, consists of 20 plates, each depicting a significant innovation that had a profound impact on European society. Plate 12, featuring windmills, showcases the technology that was becoming increasingly important in Europe for grinding grain and pumping water. The image serves not only as a representation of the technology itself but also as a symbol of the period's ingenuity and the transformative effects these inventions had on the economy and daily life.

In "Windmills," Stradano's detailed engraving style captures the complex structure of the windmill, highlighting the sails, machinery, and the building's integration into the landscape. The work reflects the artist's keen interest in mechanics and his ability to convey technical detail with artistic finesse. Philip Galle's expert engraving skills further bring Stradano's design to life, ensuring that the educational and aesthetic aspects of the work are preserved.

As a historical document, "Windmills, plate 12 from Nova Reperta" provides valuable insight into the technological advancements of the late 16th and early 17th centuries. It remains an important work for scholars interested in the history of technology, art, and the intersection of the two during the Renaissance period.
