  • A 1470S Turret Headdress from France Ilaria Rosati This Is Primarily

    A 1470S Turret Headdress from France Ilaria Rosati This Is Primarily

    A 1470s Turret Headdress from France Ilaria Rosati This is primarily a style for noblewomen, especially at the French royal court, but wealthy women in cities and towns would have worn similar. The origins of this style lie to the East: from the Ottomans, the Persians, the Mamluks, and perhaps Chinese, but my focus is on the headdress worn by noblewomen in France in the 1470s.1 Broadly speaking there are 4 main parts to this headdress, though not all are present in every single instance: 1) A fillet, which held the hair in place and helped anchor the turret. This fillet appears in artwork but I do not know of any clear textual evidence for this specific item, possibly the terms bout, touret, or chapelet may have been applied to this item.2 2) The turret itself, also called a haut bonnet, or a chaperon à cornette. I think it is more likely that the term hennin was used for the earlier horned headdress which went out of style by the 1450s.3 3) The frontlet, a rectangular band worn on top of a headdress, framing the face or wrapping around to the back of the head. Young girls could wear the frontlet on its own directly over their hair. In many images, particularly illuminations, the difference between a frontlet and the fillet mentioned above is ambiguous. 4) A veil, quevrechief à baniere, worn over the turret and trailing down behind. Materials The complete materials list is lost to history and will always be a matter of some conjecture.
  • EARLY NETHERLANDISH PAINTING Part One

    EARLY NETHERLANDISH PAINTING Part One

    EARLY NETHERLANDISH PAINTING part one Early Netherlandish painting is the work of artists, sometimes known as the Flemish Primitives, active in the Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands during the 15th- and 16th-century Northern Renaissance, especially in the flourishing cities of Bruges, Ghent, Mechelen, Leuven, Tounai and Brussels, all in present-day Belgium. The period begins approximately with Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck in the 1420s and lasts at least until the death of Gerard David in 1523, although many scholars extend it to the start of the Dutch Revolt in 1566 or 1568. Early Netherlandish painting coincides with the Early and High Italian Renaissance but the early period (until about 1500) is seen as an independent artistic evolution, separate from the Renaissance humanism that characterised developments in Italy; although beginning in the 1490s as increasing numbers of Netherlandish and other Northern painters traveled to Italy, Renaissance ideals and painting styles were incorporated into northern painting. As a result, Early Netherlandish painters are often categorised as belonging to both the Northern Renaissance and the Late or International Gothic. Robert Campin (c. 1375 – 1444), now usually identified with the Master of Flémalle (earlier the Master of the Merode Triptych), was the first great master of Flemish and Early Netherlandish painting. Campin's identity and the attribution of the paintings in both the "Campin" and "Master of Flémalle" groupings have been a matter of controversy for decades. Campin was highly successful during his lifetime, and thus his activities are relatively well documented, but he did not sign or date his works, and none can be confidently connected with him.

    Why Was Jan Van Eyck Here? the Subject, Sitters, and Significance of the Arnolfini Marriage Portrait

    Venezia Arti [online] ISSN 2385-2720 Vol. 26 – Dicembre 2017 [print] ISSN 0394-4298 Why Was Jan van Eyck here? The Subject, Sitters, and Significance of The Arnolfini Marriage Portrait Benjamin Binstock (Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art, New York City, USA) Abstract Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Marriage Portrait of 1434 still poses fundamental questions. An overlooked account explained the groom’s left hand holding his bride’s right hand as a secular, legal morganatic marriage with a bride of lower social rank and wealth. That would explain Van Eyck’s presence as witness in the mirror and through his inscription, and corresponds to the recent identification of the bride and groom as Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini and his previously unknown first wife Helene of unknown last name. Van Eyck’s scene can be called the first modern painting, as the earliest autonomous, illusionistic representation of secular reality, provided with the earliest artist’s signature of the modern type, framing his scene as perceived and represented by a particular individual. That is why Jan van Eyck was here. Summary 1 What is being disguised: religious symbolism or secular art? – 2 A morganatic, left-handed marriage. – 3 The sitters: Giovanni di Arrigo Arnolfini and his first wife Helene? – 4 Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait as the first modern painting. – 5 Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait within his oeuvre and tradition. – 6 Van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait and art historical method.

    The MSK Is Announcing New Loans That Will Be on Show in Ghent from 1 February 2020 at the Largest Van Eyck-Exhibition Ever

    Press release 12.12.2019 The MSK is announcing new loans that will be on show in Ghent from 1 February 2020 at the largest Van Eyck-exhibition ever On 1 February 2020, the largest exhibition ever to focus on Jan van Eyck is opening at the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK). More than 40 000 visitors have already bought their tickets and visitors from countries from all over the world, including Japan, Russia and the US, are getting ready for their visit to Ghent. Today, 2 months before the opening, the MSK is announcing yet another sneak peek. New loans and restorations/conservations It is with great pride that the MSK can confirm the exhibition will include an exceptional loan from the National Gallery: Jan van Eyck's 'Portrait of a Man (Léal souvenir)'. This masterpiece is one of the three Van Eycks in the National Gallery’s collection and, together with the Ghent Altarpiece, is the earliest dated painting in the oeuvre of the master. Paintings by Van Eyck are rarely allowed to leave the museums where they are held, and that certainly holds true for 'Portrait of a Man (Léal souvenir)'. Moreover, the masterpiece is currently undergoing conservation especially for the occasion. In addition to this enigmatic masterpiece from the National Gallery, the MSK is announcing that the inspiring ‘Portrait of Jan de Leeuw’ from the Kunsthistorisch Museum in Vienna will be joining the impressive portrait gallery of the exhibition. The intense glance of the sitter, possibly a friend of the painter, transcends the distance between art and reality and is ultimate proof of Van Eyck’s genius.

    Beginners' Guide to Late Fifteenth Century Kit Men: Pourpoint, Hose

    BEGINNERS' GUIDE TO LATE FIFTEENTH CENTURY KIT MEN: POURPOINT, HOSE AND GOWN This will give you the basic vocabulary of men's clothes in England in the late fifteenth century, give you an idea of the look you should be going for, and guide you as to what items to buy if you are starting out. It's only concerned with soft kit - that's everyday garments, not military gear. Each item is illustrated with a period image (the vast majority from English sources), supported by contemporary photographs or drawings. Some terminology and illustrations of the basics: Breeches Underpants (note - people often use the French term 'braies') Shirt Loose, white (or natural) linen - this is worn under all the other clothes and can double as night wear Hose What you wear on your legs. Originally, these were two separate legs – like long socks or stockings – which would tie on to your breeches or your pourpoint (of which more below) to stay up. By the end of the fifteenth century in England, this separate-leg ('single' or 'split') style was only really for the poor (there was even a statute to this effect) and men with any money and idea of style were wearing joined hose – here, the two legs are joined at the top and go all the way up over the bottom to just below the waist. There were holes around the top edge for the points…. Points Laces used to join different garments or pieces of garments together Pourpoint A tight-fitting upper body garment, generally with sleeves.

    A Comparison of the Beauty of Costume in the Gothic and Renaissance Periods

    IJCC, X/이, 4 No. 2, 138*145(2001) 62 A Comparison of the Beauty of Costume in the Gothic and Renaissance Periods Hyun-Sook Chung Assistant Professor, Department of Fashion Design, Pukyong National University Abstract This study aims to compare the beauty of costume in the Gothic -with that of Renaissance periods. By analyzing the beauty of costume 'which reflects the ideal of the age, this study attempts to provide the insight ■which can predict the beauty of future costume. The characteristics of Gothic costume is the form of the loose enveloping of the body, "which can be accounted for from the influence of the Christian religion, and the emphasis on the vertical line influenced by the steeple in the Gothic architecture expressing the enthusiasm of the religion. The emphasis on height in the Gothic cathedrals was reflected in the hennin, pointed shoes, and lengthy sleeves of Gothic dress. The beauty of Gothic costume lies in the form of slender, the emphases on the vertical line, the use of heraldry and parti-color, and pointed hat and shoe. The Renaissance architecture shows a broad horizontal appearance. There is the similarity between the Renaissance costume and Renaissance architecture. The beauty of Renaissance costume lies in the form of the exposing body, the exaggerated silhouette, the emphasis on the horizontal line, the use of ruff and slash in order to display the beauty of human body and the beauty of cubic. The ideal beauty of Gothic and Renaissance costume was influenced by the spirit of the age and was in contrast.
