This page from Giovanni Andrea Vavassore’s *Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi* features a woodcut design for embroidery. Dated 1530, this intricate pattern reflects the complex intertwining of foliage and floral motifs popular in Renaissance art, specifically the Italian Renaissance. This pattern, typical of the book, demonstrates the evolving role of printed patterns in textile design and offers a glimpse into the artistic tastes of 16th century Europe.
