Description
After careful research, illustrator Tom Tierney has portrayed this dynamic age by as it should be rendering an amazing diversity of clothing styles. Forty-five finely detailed, able-to color illustrations showing attifets, chopines, doublets, farthingales, houppelandes, and other elements of Renaissance garb depict: an Italian peasant couple dressed for their wedding day (c. 1450); an Italian knight in steel armor (c. 1460); an English lord and lady in riding outfits (c. 1510); children of a German royal circle of relatives garbed in velvet and accompanied by a soberly dressed nanny (c. 1550); and lots of more outfits designed for more than a few activities and occasions. In addition, seven plates feature dozens of examples of fashionable headgear, footwear, and hairstyles for women and men, from several stages in the flourishing of Renaissance styles.
Descriptive captions accompany each and every handsome, able-to-color illustration, making this a collection on the way to appeal to colorists as much as it’ll delight costume historians and designers.
