[h-cost] help identifying picture
Has anybody ever seen this before? http://images.cheezburger.com/imagestore/2010/9/9/330d9013-0b7f-468b-9c3a-b22044bb4e02.jpg It seems to me it's clearly a Victorian or later representation of a Renaissance style, either Italian or German. But I've never seen it before and have no idea where it came from. Can anyone help? Julie ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] help identifying picture
I'd guess it is Victorian or even 20thCentury. The Renaissance era paintings I've seen seemed to always have the sitter looking out at the viewer. Here you don't see her eyes at all. Creepy.

Re: [h-cost] help identifying picture
Not quite an answer, but another vote for modern: A few years ago a Ren magazine (Renaissance? This one? http://www.renaissancemagazine.com/backissues/issue16.html) did a photo article on people dressed and in settings approximating rennaissance paintings. I don't recall your image as one of these specifically, but perhaps they have done similar things in other issues. At any rate it looks like a modern person in historical reproduction clothing with a bit of photoshopping to achieve a period look. I'm guessing modern because it looks neither period or Victorian. - Hope monica spence wrote: I'd guess it is Victorian or even 20thCentury.

Cheezburger.com is a site which among other things allows you to to modify pics (they call them lol builders) - usually with humorous results. patty -Original Message- From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of monica spence Sent: Monday, July 18, 2011 3:35 PM To: 'Historical Costume' Subject: Re: [h-cost] help identifying picture I'd guess it is Victorian or even 20thCentury.

Re: [h-cost] help identifying picture
The style of painting looks to be early 1900s, definitely modern. The clothing style looks to be a blend of German and Italian. The hat is German in style. The hair would be in a caul with this type of hat. The camicia/hemd style is seen both in Germany and Northern Italy in the early Ren. The gown looks N. Italian but it could pass for German. The sleeves look more German then NI. because of the cuff being longer. The outfit might be based off of a painting of someone from the border region of Italy and German. The Illuminated music looks close to Germanic style then Italian but my knowledge in that area is limit to what I have seen when looking for an easy style to recreate. The more I review my Italian paintings the more the gown appears to be more northern Europe in style. De My two cents. -Original Message- Has anybody ever seen this before? http://images.cheezburger.com/imagestore/2010/9/9/330d9013-0b7f-468b-9c3a-b2 2044bb4e02.jpg It seems to me it's clearly a Victorian or later representation of a Renaissance style, either Italian or German.

Re: [h-cost] help identifying picture
Well, being somewhat familiar with the site in the caption at the bottom of the image, I'd definitely view it with suspicion, as evidenced by this: http://chzhistoriclols.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/funny-pictures-history-disco-duck-what-manner-of-plainchant-be-this.jpg from the same general site Still, they must have gotten the image from somewhere, so now I'm curious too. -E House -Original Message- http://images.cheezburger.com/imagestore/2010/9/9/330d9013-0b7f-468b-9c3a-b2 2044bb4e02.jpg Julie ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
Re: [h-cost] help identifying picture
Would love to see the thing up close but it looks like a portrait painted from a photograph as was very popular with infomercials a few years back. Style seems to represent an absent-minded person in a time machine who has visited Renaissance, Victorian and 1830s all on the same day ... days ... time(s) ... Jeeze, I hate time travel, -C.
