Albrecht Dürer's "Embroidery Pattern with Seven Wreaths and Four Corner Pieces," created between 1500 and 1521, is a masterful example of his skill in the art of woodcuts. This intricately detailed design showcases seven circular wreaths, each meticulously crafted with interlaced patterns. Four corner pieces featuring elaborate knotwork add to the visual complexity and beauty of this artwork. The work served as a pattern for embroidery and reflects Dürer's interest in both artistic and scientific principles. The precise lines and delicate details make this woodcut a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium.
