Re: [h-cost] Exhibition: Fashion and Fencing in Renaissance Europe

I will definately be going, date to be decided but will give a report once done.

I'll also have a peak at the exhibition catalogue and let people know
whether it worth getting or not.

 A new exhibition opens tomorrow in London at The Wallace Collection:

 The Noble Art of the Sword: Fashion and Fencing in Renaissance Europe
 http://www.wallacecollection.org/collections/exhibition/93

 It runs from Thursday 17th May, 2012 to Sunday 16th September, 2012.

 The web page has a detailed description of the goodies on display and their
 context, and it might be worth looking out for coverage in the media soon.

 Also, I've heard that one of the portraits will be The Laughing Cavalier
 (1624) by Frans Hals.  If you go to

 http://wallacelive.wallacecollection.org:8080/eMuseumPlus?service=ExternalInterfacemodule=collectionobjectId=64959

 there is a a description and a photo, and if you click on the photo a
 separate window opens, showing an enlargement in which you can see in detail
 his lace, and his silk costume with all its symbols of love.

 If anyone happens to be in London and visits this exhibition, perhaps they'd
 tell us more about it?
