Dominant colour
Panel of Ornament is a 1528 by Lucas van Leyden, a Renaissance work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows two kids sitting on either side of a fancy vase. On top of the vase, a cat crouches next to a bird with wings spread wide. Swirly leaves and flowers wrap around the whole scene. The whole thing looks carved into stone. The date "1528" is stamped at the bottom. This was made by a Dutch artist who loved detailed prints. Next, check out Lucas van Leyden—he made lots of sharp, tiny drawings like this.
Lucas van Leyden (1494 – 8 August 1533), was a Dutch painter and printmaker in engraving and woodcut. Lucas van Leyden was among the first Dutch exponents of genre painting and was a very accomplished engraver.
