Image of the engraved frontispiece by Bloemaert in which six figures surround an architectural element displaying the title of the book. Three figures sit in front of the architectural element while a figure who appears to be Medusa lies in front of them. A soldier with a helmet and shield stands to the right of the three seated figures. An angel flies above the figures and blows a horn. Additionally, on the central architectural element, there is a plaque on which "VITE DI PITTORI SCULTORI ET ARCHITETTORI" is inscribed.
