Kruis tussen acht ornamenten 1611

This intricate print, *Kruis tussen acht ornamenten* (Cross between eight ornaments), was created by Guillaume de la Quewellerie in 1611. The work is a prime example of the decorative and ornamental printmaking popular in the early 17th century. It showcases a central cross flanked by eight intricate motifs, each designed with elaborate patterns of scrolls and foliage. This piece served as a model for goldsmiths, woodcarvers, and other artisans, offering inspiration for decorative elements in various artistic mediums. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistry of the period.
