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. This page from the larger book, "La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami," demonstrates Ostaus' contribution to the rich tradition of 16th-century Italian design.
