*blush* should've checked on the spelling of Birbari's name, thank you for
the correction! I like her for a couple reasons, although you are right;
she is limited. I appreciate the time she spends analyzing styles (like
the sheer overdress) that in the survey books are glossed over in favor of
the more standard Italian Renaissance look. From a purely academic
standpoint I admire the time she takes to argue that you _can_ use Italian
paintings c. 1460-80 as an accurate portrayal of construction. While with
Van der Wyden and the northern painters that seems like an obvious
statement, for the Italian style I thought it was an assumption worth
questioning.
Best of luck acquiring a copy!
Thanks! That is a very good point about Birbari. And I got a good
hint there on how to do the sleeves in the Cossa paintings (those
things that looks sorta like leg-o-mutton sleeves).
