This woodcut print from a 1544 pattern book by Peter Quentel, a prominent German artist and designer, depicts a series of three ornate borders. The intricate designs feature a combination of foliate motifs and geometric elements, typical of the Renaissance style, and showcase the decorative trends of the era. The use of black and white provides a strong contrast and highlights the meticulous detail of each element, making this print a valuable resource for artists, craftspeople, and design enthusiasts. This example from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, provides a glimpse into the artistic craftsmanship of the 16th century.
