"Ornamento nobile...Fatta da Lucretia Romana (Libro V of the Corona), page 3 (recto)" is a woodcut print from 1620 by Cesare Vecellio. The intricate design features a triangular pattern of interlacing scrolls, human figures, and fantastical creatures, all rendered in fine detail. It is a page from a book titled *Corona,* which Vecellio dedicated to Lucretia Romana. It is an example of the artist's mastery of the woodcut technique, his ability to create complex and decorative patterns, and his interest in showcasing the skill of his patron. The print is currently on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
