This 1566 engraving by Pieter van der Heyden, titled "Plafond, met in het midden een Medusahoofd," depicts a ceiling design. The intricate pattern is a testament to the Renaissance fascination with classical motifs. The central Medusa head, surrounded by garlands and geometric forms, suggests the use of this design for a grand, decorative purpose. The engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the architectural details and artistic sensibilities of the 16th century.
