This intricate woodcut print, from a book of embroidery designs by Giovanni Ostaus, showcases the artistic sensibilities of the 16th century. Published in 1567, the image features a pair of centaurs holding palm branches, and another pair of winged figures with ribbons. The print is filled with a variety of motifs, including animals, plants, and intricate detail. The artist's mastery of the woodcut technique is evident in the delicate lines and precise detail of the design.
