Ein ney Furmbüchlein, Page 15, recto 1520 - 1530

This woodcut print from a pattern book by Johann Schönsperger the Younger, a prominent German artist, displays a complex floral design with stylized interlaced stems and leaves. The patterns, characteristic of the Renaissance style, would have been used by craftsmen for a variety of purposes, such as textile design or wood carving. The intricacy of the design and the fine detail of the woodcut demonstrate the skill of Schönsperger, who specialized in pattern books. This page, from a book titled *Ein ney Furmbüchlein*, showcases the artistic and practical value of pattern books in the 16th century.
