This woodcut, "Ein ney Furmbüchlein," was created by Johann Schönsperger the Younger between 1520 and 1530. The page displays four intricate patterns featuring interlacing vines, stylized foliage, and repeated motifs. Schönsperger, a prominent German artist, created this design as part of a pattern book, a collection of ornamental designs for decorative arts and architecture, offering inspiration to craftsmen of the time. This artwork is a testament to the detailed artistry of the Renaissance period, emphasizing patterns and ornamentation. The work is a remarkable example of the rich artistic heritage of the period, and is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
