This 1604 print by Pietro Paulo Tozzi showcases a decorative border composed of geometric patterns, a common motif in Renaissance art. The intricate design highlights the skill of the artist, who likely used a pen and ink to create this detailed illustration. The title "Ghirlanda" is a reference to the wreath-like border design, suggesting a celebration of the Italian gardens that inspired this work. This page, from a larger book, is a testament to Tozzi's talent for creating intricate and visually striking designs. The use of repetitive patterns and the overall emphasis on geometry creates a harmonious visual balance that appeals to the eye. This work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
