This woodcut from Johann Schönsperger the Younger’s “Ein ney Furmbüchlein” (1520-1530) is a page from a pattern book, a popular genre of printing that provided designers with inspiration and practical examples. This page showcases an intricate, repeating pattern of swirling foliage, fantastic beasts, and a central medallion, all rendered in fine detail. The motif demonstrates the artist’s mastery of this popular technique, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the decorative arts of the early sixteenth century.
