Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi, page 3 (recto) 1530

This woodcut print, *Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi*, from 1530 by Giovanni Andrea Vavassore depicts two circular designs with floral motifs. The intricate geometric patterns within the circles suggest inspiration from the Renaissance interest in classical ornament. This page, featuring patterns for embroidery, is a single sheet from a larger volume published in Venice, likely intended for a domestic audience of embroiderers. The print is a testament to the artistry and technical skill of Vavassore, who was a prominent figure in the Venetian publishing scene, known for producing high-quality illustrated books. The delicate details and balanced composition make this print a valuable example of early Italian decorative arts and printed materials.
