(11.75 x 12.86 cm) (sheet), Punch engraving, Germany, 16th-17th century, Like many of the German artists in this exhibition, Paul Flindt (Vlindt) trained as a goldsmith in Nuremberg.

Flindt was the most prolific of the Punzenstecher--artists who created ornament prints with a goldsmith's punch instead of an engraver's burin. The result is a design made of tiny dots.

Design for an Octagonal Table and Top (Recto); Design for altar or tomb monument (Verso) ca. 1530-60 Anonymous, Italian, 16th century Italian This drawing comes from an album with designs by or for an Italian cabinet maker. It shows a design for an octagonal table with two variants for its base. A client would choose either the left or right table leg, which would then most likely be tripled to form a triangular base. The octagonal entablature, shown from above, was meant to be decorated in a geometrical intarsia pattern for which different wood species would be used. In some cases, the top would even be reversible and have decorations on both sides. Tables like this one were meant as display pieces and had a (semi-) permanent location within the interior. Lighter folding tables were also in use which could be carried over to a particular location where it was of need at the time..

Design for a Frieze with a Putto and Acanthus Leaves, c. 1520. Giulio Romano (Italian, 1492/99-1546). Pen, brown ink, red chalk, black chalk; sheet: 32.6 x 16.2 cm (12 13/16 x 6 3/8 in.). After working to fresco the papal apartments in Rome under Raphael in the 1510s, Giulio Romano became the court artist to Federico II Gonzaga, 1st Duke of Mantua (r. 1530-40), where his universal talents as an architect, designer, and painter transformed the dukes unadorned Palazzo del Te into an elaborate setting for leisure and courtly activity. It was through drawings that Giulio planned everything from the most important narrative sequences of the palace, to the most seemingly insignificant ornamental details. This drawing—perhaps a design for a rinceaux, a frescoed decoration to the side or above a doorway—depicts Giulios typically inventive approach to classical ornament, with acanthus leaves that twirl together in a complex figure-eight pattern and a putto emerging from the floral center.
