Robin, I'd recommend contacting Ann Rosalind Jones or Margaret F Rosenthal. They have a new book coming out in the Fall on Vecellio's Costume book, here are a few excerpts off of the Realm of Venus site. http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/library/newvecellio.htm
Ms. Jones is at Smith College, and Ms. Rosenthal is at USC. - Marion ----- Original Message ---- From: Robin Netherton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Historical Costume <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2008 1:10:17 PM Subject: [h-cost] Venice c. 1600 Once more I'm faced with a query way outside my own area of expertise, so I figured I'd see if you folks can give me some clues. For those of you who study Italian Renaissance: Who would you say are the best living scholars of Venetian dress, c. 1600, or, failing that, Venetian portraiture or art history of this era? By "scholars," I mean those with academic credentials, positions, or publications. In this case, the need is for someone to cite, not someone to make clothing. In other words, who do the historic-clothing-makers look to as the authorities here? Everyone I can think of is either deceased or working in earlier periods, alas. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
