This page from the "Second Works, and Subtle Inventions of Lingerie by the Lord Federic de Vinciolo Venetian" is a design for needlepoint. This book, published in 1603 by Venetian artist Federico de Vinciolo (1582-1599), was an influential work in the history of embroidery, and is widely studied today for its meticulous and beautiful designs. This page demonstrates the complex patterns that were fashionable in the early 17th century, illustrating both the geometric and naturalistic motifs commonly used in needlework of the time. It is a valuable resource for understanding the history of needlepoint as well as for contemporary practitioners of the craft.
