This page from Peter Quentel's *Eyn new kunstlichboich* (*A New Book of Art*), a German pattern book printed in 1529, showcases intricate designs for textile and embroidery patterns. The page features two geometric patterns, one a simple grid and the other a more elaborate interlocking design. The book's purpose was to provide artisans with a source of inspiration for their work, and these patterns highlight the craftsmanship and technical skill of Renaissance-era design. The *Eyn new kunstlichboich* is a prime example of the importance of pattern books in the development of artistic traditions, demonstrating the transmission of knowledge and the influence of artistic trends in the early modern period.
