Le voyage de Charles Magius: Cyprus
Gouache on paper, by various artists, including Paolo Veronese
Published 1578
Bibliothèque nationale de France

Page 6: A plan of the island of Cyprus, where Magius held command, where his first misfortune happened, and his enslavement by the Turks. The painter has expressed this by an emblem at a tree shaken by the winds and scathed by the lightning; but from the trunk issues a beautiful green branch shining in a brilliant sun, with this device: 'From this fallen trunk springs a branch full of vigour'.
