"Distillation" is an engraving by Jan van der Straet, also known as Johannes Stradanus, a Flemish artist from the 16th century renowned for his works during the Renaissance period. The engraving is part of a series titled "Nova Reperta" (New Discoveries), which illustrates various technological advancements and discoveries of the age. Created circa 1570, the series was published in Florence around 1580.

The "Distillation" engraving depicts an early laboratory scene where the process of distillation is being carried out. The image serves as a historical record of the practice and equipment used in alchemy and early chemistry. It shows a detailed interior with several figures engaged in the distillation process, using apparatus such as alembics and receiving flasks. The scene is rich with symbolic and practical detail, reflecting the era's blend of science, mysticism, and the pursuit of knowledge.

Jan van der Straet's work is significant for its representation of early modern science and technology. His engravings are valued not only for their artistic merit but also for their contribution to the understanding of the history of science. "Distillation," in particular, provides insight into the experimental nature of the period and the evolving practices that would eventually lead to modern chemistry. The engraving is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the complexity of contemporary technological processes and the cultural importance of scientific discovery during the Renaissance.
