EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite example of needlework from the 16th century. Titled "Essempio di recammi, page 13 (recto), 1530" this artwork was created by the talented Giovanni Antonio Tagliente. Known for his contributions to the textile industry, Tagliente's book "Examples of Needlework" was one of the first pattern books to be published in Italy. Intricately designed, this piece features a variety of animals and insects beautifully embroidered onto fabric. A majestic deer gracefully stands amidst a lush landscape, while a fierce lion exudes strength and power. Delicate dragonflies add an ethereal touch to the composition, showcasing Tagliente's attention to detail. The woodcut technique used in this print adds depth and texture to each element, enhancing their lifelike appearance. This historical artifact not only represents Italian craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to the industrial advancements made during that era. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece offers us insight into the rich history of dressmaking and sewing techniques prevalent during the sixteenth century. It is a remarkable reminder of how textiles have played an integral role in both artistic expression and cultural identity throughout time.
