Page from Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch...(Page 30r) 1544

This page from a 1544 pattern book by Peter Quentel, a German artist and designer, showcases three intricate geometric designs, printed in black ink on cream-colored paper. The designs are likely intended for needlepoint, a popular craft for decorative textiles during the Renaissance, and are notable for their intricate geometric patterns and bold, graphic quality. The pattern book, titled "Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch," is a testament to the enduring power of patterns to inspire and inform creative expression across the centuries.
