This page from Matteo Pagano’s 1563 book *Trionfo Di Virtu*, depicts three intricate designs of interlocking knots. The work exemplifies the Renaissance fascination with geometric patterns. The page is organized with a larger central motif and two smaller circular designs framed by a geometric border, demonstrating the versatility of knotwork design. Pagano’s designs, which likely influenced architectural embellishments of the period, remain popular in contemporary art and design.
