Schön newes Modelbuch (Page 46r) 1608

This page, titled "Schön newes Modelbuch", from a 1608 book of patterns by Sigismundus Latomus, features intricate woodcut designs. These patterns would have been used for a variety of decorative purposes, including embroidery, lace-making, and woodcarving. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the decorative arts of the early 17th century, and Latomus's work was particularly popular for its geometric complexity and intricate details. The delicate, precise lines of the patterns demonstrate the skill of both the artist and the woodcutter, making this a beautiful example of the artistic craftsmanship of the time.
