Trionfo Di Virtu. Libro Novo..., page 18 (verso) 1563

This page from Matteo Pagano’s 1563 book, *Trionfo Di Virtu*, features five intricate designs for decorative borders. Printed in black ink, these patterns showcase the intricate and stylized designs that were popular during the Renaissance, particularly for architectural and decorative elements. The variety of shapes and patterns, including Greek key motifs, interlaced knots, and stylized floral elements, demonstrate the creative energy and technical skill of Italian Renaissance artists. The work of Matteo Pagano, who lived from 1515 to 1588, is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
