"Le Pompe: Opera Nova, page 6 (recto)" is a 1557 design for lace patterns by the Italian artists Giovanni Battista and Marchio Sessa. This intricate woodcut, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases three distinct lace patterns, each featuring geometric motifs and repeating, interlacing lines. The patterns, likely intended for needlepoint or bobbin lace, demonstrate the complex and beautiful designs of Italian lacemaking during the Renaissance.
