17 Aug Highlight from our fashion and beauty tour
As you walk around any museum, you will see portraits that include far more fashion than person. Here is a great Renaissance gentleman with the vast mink collar, his elegant double brocaded with gold thread, his two gold chains, his beautifully manicured hands and probably perfumed gloves, the intricate badge on his hat and the large, assertive (and expensive) feather. We always think it’s sad when we don’t know who portraits like this represent, since they obviously put so much effort into dressing up and having a picture made of their fanciest duds…. Come let us show you how art museums are a giant fashion show on the Fashion and Beauty tour!
