This page, from Matteo Pagano's 1563 "Trionfo Di Virtu," is a fine example of the Italian Renaissance decorative arts. The artist, working in the tradition of grotesque ornament, provides an array of borders, each featuring a unique design of birds, flowers, and abstract forms. The intricate details of the engravings are meant to be used as inspiration or directly copied in the decoration of architectural elements, furniture, and manuscripts. This page from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is a testament to the enduring appeal of Renaissance decorative arts.
