Apollo and Erato at Altar; Title page for: Stephanus Simonini, Silvae Urbanianae, 1637. Apollo, the god of poetry, places his winch on an altar. On the right state erato, the muse of the lyrical poetry, in addition to a cradle in which a baby lies. The baby is probably the Greek poet peanutarus. Under the altar the source of Hippocrene. At the top a garland with the arm of the family Barberini, the papal tiara and keys.
