Page from Eyn Newe kunstlich moetdelboech alle kunst (Page 8r) 1532

This page from the pattern book *Eyn Newe kunstlich moetdelboech alle kunst* (1532) by German artist Peter Quentel (1500-1550) features several decorative border designs, including a band of repeating geometric motifs and a band of intertwined branches and flowers. These patterns, typical of the *kunstbuch* tradition, served as inspiration for woodcarving and other decorative arts. The book's intricate designs reflect the artistic and technical achievements of the Renaissance in Germany. The Metropolitan Museum of Art holds this valuable example of Quentel’s work in its collection.
