Step back in time and immerse yourself in the exquisite fashion of the 15th century. From lavish wedding feasts to intimate portraits, this era showcased a unique blend of elegance and opulence. In 'Wedding Feast of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary and Louis of Thuringia in the Wartburg', we witness the grandeur of noble attire, with richly embroidered gowns and intricate headpieces adorning the guests. The Housebook Master's 'The Lovers' captures a tender moment between two individuals, their clothing reflecting the fashion trends of the time. Delicate fabrics, flowing sleeves, and ornate accessories were all hallmarks of this period's style. In contrast, 'The Ravisher' depicts a more dramatic scene with its intense engravings. The figures are clad in bold garments that emphasize power and authority. This engraving serves as a reminder that fashion was not limited to nobility alone; it permeated all levels of society. Albrecht Durer's self-portrait at age 26 showcases his own fashionable attire - an elegant doublet paired with a stylish hat. This etching exemplifies how artists themselves became trendsetters during this era. 'Three Peasants in Conversation' and 'Peasant Couple' provide glimpses into everyday life during this period. Simple yet functional clothing is depicted here, highlighting practicality over extravagance for those outside aristocratic circles. Moving beyond Europe, 'The Brides of the Sea' transports us to another world entirely - one where ethereal beauty meets maritime enchantment. The flowing gowns worn by these sea nymphs evoke both fantasy and romance. Lastly, Friedrich Hottenroth's lithograph presents us with an insight into male costume from this era - showcasing intricately detailed tunics adorned with patterns reminiscent of Gothic architecture. From frescoes to engravings, oil paintings to lithographs – each artwork offers us a glimpse into the diverse and captivating fashion of the 15th century.
