1) So, now that the Stibbert Museum Doublet inspired German Patrician outfit is finished, you might (or might not) be wondering, what's Tom up to now? ( #sewing, #cosplay, #HistoricalTailoring, #RenaissanceHistory)
Picture of a men's padded and embroidered doublet in the Stibbert Museum (http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/stibbert_museum.html#) The doublet is in a cream colored leather with a raised waist level and pointed front, there are 14 skirt tabs and embroidery on the stomach area. Picture of a man in a doublet based on the Stibbert Museum Jerkin. The doublet is tan with vertical trims in brown and red. It is "slashed" in an "X" pattern with a teal blue wool underlining showing through the slashes. The man is wearing matching Venetian style breeches, in the same fabrics with red cuffs at the knee.

research for the next video is going just swimmingly why do you ask #renaissancehistory #history #arthistory
Several screenshots from a document collaged together. "Extant versions of this portrait are not the original" "Date isn't known for certain" "original owner isn't known for sure" "Not a whole lot known about his life" "Outer panels of a triptych now separated from the center panel, which has been lost" "These two paintings are hard to analyze separately, though they were only identified as being a part of the same piece within the past seventy years"

Medieval and Renaissance medicine was not always gentle curiosity.

Bodies were opened, consumed, tested, dissected, and studied — often unequally, often brutally, and often in the name of knowledge.

A Glass of Wine with Caesar Borgia (1893) by John Collier. From left: Cesare Borgia, Lucrezia Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, and a young man holding an empty glass. The painting represents the popular view of the treacherous nature of the Borgias—the implication being that the young man cannot be sure that the wine is not poisoned.

The Van Eyck portrait is especially interesting because the hat is made of very fine plait, which is not only time consuming to weave but the straw has to be sorted for the special tiny stems. And the black dye is expensive and hard to achieve, and prone to fading.
