This page, from a 1529 pattern book, depicts a selection of geometric designs, or "model Büchli," by German artist Johann Schönsperger the Younger. The book served as a resource for embroidery patterns, providing inspiration for embroiderers and demonstrating the intricate designs that were popular in the 16th century. The crisp, precise lines and geometric patterns highlight the skills of the artist, and reflect the growing interest in geometric beauty and practicality in the Renaissance period.
