This page from *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne*, a collection of portraits of noble and virtuous women published in Venice in 1601, was designed by Italian artist Cesare Vecellio. The intricate black and white design features symmetrical, floral patterns with geometric motifs, highlighting Vecellio's mastery of the wood engraving technique. This page is a testament to Vecellio's artistic talent and his ability to translate his vision into detailed and evocative engravings.
