"La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami" (The True Perfection of Design of Various Kinds of Embroidery) is a page from a book published in 1567 by Giovanni Ostaus (1507-1607). This page from the book displays two detailed patterns that could be used for embroidery. The engravings contain stylized floral patterns on a grid background, providing a visual guide for the embroiderer to follow. These types of books were popular during the Renaissance, as they provided a wealth of ideas for artisans working in various decorative crafts. This image is a good example of the detailed and intricate nature of Italian Renaissance design.
