Francesco Corbetta, engraving likely by either Ioan Thomas or Frederick Bouttats, 1648.
This engraving of Francesco Corbetta appeared in Corbetta’s musical composition book Varii Scherzi di Sonate. The phrase at the top roughly translates to ‘To the lofty and immortal heaven of honors, one flies only on the wings of virtue’.
