Ornamental Panel 1514 - 1536

"Ornamental Panel" (1514-1536) is a woodcut print by Agostino Veneziano, a prominent Italian artist known for his engravings and designs. The intricate composition showcases a grotesque, ornamental motif, a characteristic feature of the 16th century Italian Renaissance style. The panel features a central vase supported by two satyrs, encircled by elaborate floral motifs, grotesque creatures, and a human head. This print is considered a testament to Veneziano's mastery in creating decorative and imaginative designs, which influenced the artistic sensibilities of his time. The print is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City.
