This woodcut, titled "Splendore delle virtuose giovani," was created in 1564 by Iseppo Foresto, a Venetian artist active in the 16th century. The piece showcases a typical Renaissance style of intricate detail and ornamentation. Two columns flank a central inscription surrounded by a decorative band. The inscription's text is in Italian, with the image likely serving as a title page to a collection of poems or other works. The woodcut, now located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, exemplifies Foresto's mastery of the medium, reflecting the printing and publishing traditions of his time.
