This intricate woodcut, “Convivio delle Belle Donne, page 15 (recto),” from 1532, is a prime example of Italian Renaissance decorative art by artist Nicolò Zoppino. The page displays a complex geometric pattern reminiscent of mosaic work. It features interlocking shapes that create a rich visual texture with subtle variations in black and white, adding depth and dimension to the design. The piece, likely intended as a design pattern for embroidery or decorative work, highlights the fascination with geometric precision and pattern during the Renaissance. The piece is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
