This woodcut print, *Ornamento nobile...Fatta da Lucretia Romana (Libro V of the Corona), page 15 (recto)*, is a page from Cesare Vecellio's 1620 book *Corona*, a collection of decorative patterns for embroidery. The image depicts a triangular pattern filled with repeating geometric shapes, floral motifs, and stylized animal figures, all rendered in black and white. This design, characteristic of the Renaissance era, reflects the interest in classical motifs and the pursuit of beauty in everyday objects. Vecellio, a Venetian artist known for his detailed depictions of costumes and textiles, created this detailed illustration as a guide for needlework and a testament to the artistry of the time. The intricate design exemplifies the skilled craftsmanship of the era, showcasing a visual language that combines geometry and natural forms.
