Les Secondes Oeuvres, et Subtiles Inventions De Lingerie du Seigneur Federic de Vinciolo Venitien, page 14 (recto) 1603

This page, from Federico de Vinciolo's *Les Secondes Oeuvres, et Subtiles Inventions De Lingerie du Seigneur Federic de Vinciolo Venitien*, published in 1603, provides a detailed pattern for needlepoint. The image on page 14, depicting the Adoration of the Magi, is rendered in a highly stylized and graphic fashion. It is made up of individual stitches that are indicated by dots, each one corresponding to a stitch on the needlepoint canvas. De Vinciolo's work was highly influential on needlepoint design, and these detailed patterns were widely copied throughout Europe. The work is now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
