This page from Iseppo Foresto’s *Lucidario di Recami* (1564) is an example of 16th-century Italian design for embroidery. This woodblock print features three different repeating decorative motifs, composed of stylized leaves and floral patterns. The *Lucidario di Recami* was a popular manual of design for decorative arts, especially embroidery, which appealed to a wide audience of needleworkers and artisans.
