Livre de Moresques, page 7 (recto) 1546

This page from Francesco di Pellegrino's *Livre de Moresques* (1546) features an intricate black-and-white design of stylized floral motifs. The repetitive pattern exemplifies the *moresque* style of decorative art, which draws inspiration from Islamic art. The page serves as a guide for creating decorative elements for furniture, specifically bed covers and chests, highlighting the practical application of this artistic trend during the Renaissance. *Moresques* were a popular design element in the 16th century, reflecting the burgeoning interest in foreign cultures during this period of European exploration and expansion.
