EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite example of needlework from the 16th century. Created by the talented Giovanni Antonio Tagliente, this piece is featured on page 12 (recto) of his renowned book "Essempio di recammi" first published in 1527. This publication was one of the pioneering textile pattern books to emerge in Italy during that era. The intricate design depicted in this woodcut engraving reveals a stunning array of birds and insects, meticulously embroidered onto fabric. A majestic peacock takes center stage, its feathers beautifully rendered with delicate stitches. Surrounding it are various avian species gracefully perched on urns and vases. Tagliente's work not only highlights his exceptional skill as a designer but also reflects the rich heritage of Italian craftsmanship during the Renaissance period. This image serves as a testament to the flourishing textile industry at that time, where dressmaking and embroidery played integral roles. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph captures both the artistic beauty and historical significance embodied by Tagliente's creations. It stands as a reminder of how artistry transcends time, allowing us to appreciate centuries-old masterpieces like this one today.
