Firenze, Italy: Stibbert museum cont…
A few more photos of the museum to give a feeling for walking around along with some people shots. Laying on the floor to get the right shot was not an infrequent event.
Please let me know if you are enjoying these brief “snap shots” of the trip. I wanted to give a feeling of the event/trip without writing a book. Too many images? Too little? I am thinking about putting together a gallery of the final images into my library section. I haven’t fleshed that out at all yet! Documenting the “social” aspects was important to me as well as the “research” aspects. I love events and trips!
Laurie, I’m finding your pictures (all of them, not just the Italy ones!) absolutely fabulous. But for the Italy trip, I just *love* seeing what you were seeing.
I simply marvel at the opulence of, not only the clothing, but the buildings … exterior and interior. My mind just can’t comprehend that these were everyday garments for (admittedly) the aristocracy and *not* for a Ren Faire. :-) The architecture is beyond words … I can’t imagine living in such an atmosphere, where beauty is all around you, every day. It’s just unbelieveable.
I would love to see more … of both the Italy trip and whatever it is that you are working on. :-) I love your stuff. :-)
Any photos from Stibbert Museum are interesting! Thank you. I 2011 photo was not allowed there. Have they changed their rule according to Francescini Law adopted in 2014?
