This woodcut print, "Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi, page 9 (recto)" (1530) by Giovanni Andrea Vavassore, showcases intricate patterns of intertwined knots and floral motifs. The design on the left depicts a stylized bird perched on a branch, while the right side features a complex knotwork design, characteristic of Renaissance ornamental art. This print from a larger collection of embroidery designs would have been used by artisans to create elaborate textile patterns, demonstrating the growing interest in decorative arts during the Renaissance period.
