Title: 25 years Weiss Gallery Paintings
Post by: CenturiesSewing on September 15, 2010, 11:38:53 PM

I came across this link on an Elizabethan Costume forum,

http://www.weissgallery.com/catalogue/weiss25years.htm (http://www.weissgallery.com/catalogue/weiss25years.htm)


The paintings start on page 22 of the flash book and There is also a hand pdf for download.

It seems to run from Renn era paintings to Baroque but might go further, I'm only on page 102!

Here is a small preview of some closeups   ;)

Wow. What an awesome find. Yes to very clear, bright photography.

For those who want yet another example of pink in the period, see page 45.  :o
