Trionfo Di Virtu. Libro Novo..., page 26 (recto) 1563

This print from *Trionfo Di Virtu. Libro Novo...* by Matteo Pagano, a Venetian master of embroidery and design, showcases intricate patterns for textile decoration. The work is typical of his designs that were highly sought after in the mid-16th century. This page features a variety of geometric and floral motifs that would have been incorporated into sumptuous garments, tapestries, and other textiles. The recurring use of the Greek key pattern and other geometric forms exemplifies the influence of the Renaissance, a period of intense revival of classical art and culture. Pagano’s work contributed to the beauty and craftsmanship of textiles during the Italian Renaissance.
