Description

Emblem from Hadrianus Junius's Emblemata, Antwerp, Christophe Plantin, 1565. The text below reads: "Uviferum Bromium, volucrem sed praepete penna, Quid tacitae posuistis Amyclae? Tollit humo ingenium Bacchus, mentem erigit altam, Pegaseaque velut vehit ala." (Peaceful Amyclae, you set up a statue of Bromius [Bacchus] the grape-bearer: but why as a flying creature with swift wings? Bacchus takes inventive genius from the soil, and elevates the mind, And carries it on wings like Pegasus’s.)
