This page from Alessandro Paganino's 1532 book, "Libro quarto. De rechami per elquale se impara in diuersi modi lordine e il modo de recamare...Opera noua," features two intricately designed patterns for embroidery. These motifs, drawn in black ink on paper, demonstrate the intricate and complex world of Renaissance decorative arts. Paganino's work provides a visual guide for embroiderers, showcasing the fine details and artistic craftsmanship involved in this art form. The book, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a valuable resource for understanding the techniques and styles of embroidery practiced in 16th-century Italy.
