"Ghirlanda: Di sei vaghi fiori scielti da piu famosi Giardini d'Italia," a page from a larger work, is a page of text surrounded by a decorative, ornate border. Printed in 1604 by Pietro Paulo Tozzi, this page was likely part of a book dedicated to the humanist Fra Paolo Frasinelli. Tozzi, a young artist who died at the age of 25, worked in a style that utilized the then-popular printing technique of woodcuts. This work is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
