This page from Peter Quentel's "Eyn new kunstlichboich" (A New Artistic Book) is a fascinating example of 16th-century calligraphy and typography. The page, created in 1529, features a meticulously rendered alphabet in a clear, humanist style, demonstrating the artist's skill and mastery of letterforms. The work is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and showcases the evolution of printing techniques and artistic expression during the Renaissance. The detailed letterforms and the page's overall composition highlight the evolving role of typography in artistic practice.
