This woodcut print, created by the Spanish Renaissance artist Virgil Solis, is a masterful example of intricate strapwork and foliage ornamentation. The design features a central sun motif surrounded by two monkeys and a variety of other creatures, all rendered in exquisite detail against a dark ground. The dynamic composition and skillful use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and movement, showcasing Solis's mastery of the woodcut medium. This artwork, likely intended for decorative purposes, reflects the flourishing of Renaissance art and design in 16th-century Spain.
