Page from Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch...(Page 28v) 1544

This woodcut print, a page from a larger book, "Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch" (A new artistic pattern book) by Peter Quentel, features three distinct geometric designs. These patterns, possibly intended for embroidery, are arranged in horizontal bands and demonstrate the common motif of repeating forms, typical of Renaissance decorative art. This intricate design, characteristic of the time, highlights the emerging trend of using precise patterns for both practicality and aesthetics in decorative arts.
