This woodcut print, a page from Cesare Vecellio’s *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne*, depicts two intricate borders. The borders feature intertwined vines with various animals, including lions, birds, and deer. This page was published in Venice in 1601 and is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The artist, Cesare Vecellio, was a prominent Italian artist who lived from 1521 to 1601. This intricate design showcases Vecellio's meticulous attention to detail and mastery of the woodcut technique. The repeating patterns of the borders make this work a prime example of Renaissance ornament.
