A website of portraits and other works of art from the Tudor and Elizabethan era for the purpose of research and education. http://www.elizabethan-portraits.com/ (Gotta scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for the links to various sections of the website.)

Another great site. It's wonderful for looking up locations and times but it doesn't have a large English/French/Spanish selection of portraiture.

Awesome if you want to do a period Tudor gown. She has a ton of really great information regarding that darn "Mysterious White Band" seen in the really early stuff. Personally, I think it's the corset straps.

Another all-inclusive good site for portraits/paintings of any given time period.

Perfect for Italian styles. This really is one of my favorite sites and I have copied a couple of gowns from here as well.
