One of the few things that have really stunned me was the Gubbio Studiolo room in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Every time I visited New York, I felt obliged to have another look. It never tired.Just incredible.
I will not repeat many pictures here, look at the museum website for more details. Its walls are carried out in a wood-inlay technique known as intarsia. The latticework doors of the cabinets, shown open or partly closed, indicate the contemporary interest in linear perspective. The cabinets display objects reflecting a wide range of artistic and scientific interests. This room was executed by Giuliano da Majano (1432–1490).
If you zoom in on the picture below, you can even read the text in the book…
