This woodcut, created in 1532 by Alessandro Paganino, is a page from his book *Libro quarto. De rechami per elquale se impara in diuersi modi lordine e il modo de recamare...Opera noua*. Paganino's design features intricate, repeating patterns of birds perched on entwined branches with scrolling foliage. This page is a clear example of the Italian Renaissance interest in decorative arts and the emerging fascination with natural motifs in design. This type of pattern was commonly used in textiles, particularly in the art of embroidery.
