This page from "La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami" (The True Perfection of Design for Various Kinds of Embroidery), a pattern book published in Venice in 1567 by Giovanni Ostaus (1507-1607), features an intricate design of interlacing floral motifs. Ostaus was a prominent publisher of pattern books in the 16th century, and his work played a significant role in disseminating decorative styles and techniques across Europe. The delicate lines and delicate blossoms make this a quintessential example of Renaissance ornament.
