Emblem

URI	http://uri.hab.de/ontology/emblem#Emblem
comment	The Emblem or Sinnbild (ca. 1531-1750) is a bimedial genre, combining texts and images to express and illustrate complex aspects of contemporary culture in a compact and compelling format. The term “emblem” was first used with this sense by Andrea Alciato, in his Emblematum Liber (Augsburg: Steyner, 1531), who is acknowledged as the founder of the genre. Typically an emblem consists of a motto, an often puzzling image called the pictura, and a subtext called a subscriptio or epigram. In any given emblem all or only some of these may be present, as may more than one of each.
