"Fiori di Ricami Nuovamente Posti in Luce, title page (verso)" is a title page created by Matteo Florimi in 1591. Florimi, a young artist who lived from 1581 to 1613, used this title page to preface a collection of embroidery designs. The page features an elaborate, ornate initial "V" reminiscent of the flourishing, intricate designs found in the Renaissance period. This initial, in combination with the text and formal layout, exemplifies the artistic style of this time period. The image is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
