Libbretto nouellamete composto per maestro Domenico da Sera...lauorare di ogni sorte di punti, page 19 (verso) 1532

This page from a 1532 embroidery pattern book, "Libbretto nouellamete composto per maestro Domenico da Sera...lauorare di ogni sorte di punti," by the Italian artist Domenico da Sera, demonstrates the intricate designs common in Renaissance needlework. The page, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features a black and white geometric design, with a delicate grid of tiny squares forming patterns and shapes. This work offers a valuable glimpse into the rich tradition of embroidery in Renaissance Italy.
