More Italian Ren Dresses I Like


NEROCCIO DE' LANDI, Portrait of a Lady, 1480s
National Gallery of Art, Washington








Dress cropped from:
GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico, Resurrection of the Boy (detail), 1482-85
Santa Trinità, Florence

I love the pattern on the dress (damask? jaquard?) and the layering effect, plus the low neckline and the poofy dress which hides fat. The lower sleeves are tight (they look laced on to the upper sleeve over a thin chemise).








Different Dress, same Fresco.
GHIRLANDAIO, Domenico, Resurrection of the Boy (detail), 1482-85
Santa Trinità, Florence

This looks simpler, but essentially the same style. The sleeves are obviously laced over a chemise here.
