Fries met drie medaillons 1530 - 1540

This is a small-scale, highly detailed engraving, *Fries met drie medaillons*, from the late 1530s. Created by Monogrammist FG, this intricate work is characterized by the repetitive pattern of three round medallions, each featuring a head profile, surrounded by delicate, stylized foliage. The artist’s use of cross-hatching and fine lines creates a sense of depth and realism, typical of Northern Renaissance printmaking. These decorative engravings were popular for their versatility, used to embellish books, furniture, and other objects.
