James Turrell Emblemata Back in 2000, Turrell was inspired by the Jesuit Willem van Hees’s (Guilelmus Hesius) 1636 Antwerp emblem book Emblemata Sacra: Spe, Fide, Charitate and created his own Emblemata. Although I don’t believe he was looking at Princeton’s copy, we can do just that and compare the two side by side thanks to the recent acquisition of Turrell’s project. According to the book’s colophon “Turrell responded to the engravings in that book by creating images of his own which are here presented with the originals in sequence.”
