This page from Iseppo Foresto's *Splendore delle virtuose giovani* (1564) showcases the artist's intricate black-and-white designs, typical of the period's interest in decorative patterns. The page presents three distinct designs, each featuring stylized, interwoven floral and vine elements. These motifs, common in Renaissance Italian art, were often used for textiles, book illustrations, and architectural decorations. This specific page, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a prime example of Foresto's contribution to the art of ornamentation during the 16th century.
