This page from Peter Quentel’s 1544 pattern book “Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch” is a fine example of the woodcut technique. This work is a printed design for needlepoint, featuring a variety of geometric and stylized floral motifs. The book contains over one hundred designs, with each page dedicated to a different pattern. Quentel’s work is known for its detailed and intricate designs, which were widely popular in the 16th century. This example can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
