You see what I mean about my memory Sue?! Yes, Beatrice d'Este is a very good example (I think most opinions I've heard say that the stripes are applied in that example, to relate this back to the original question). I have not studied the Manesse Codex and can't speak to that. And yes, she is another Italian example. I'm sure there are more out there, but as I said, anything not 16thc Venetian or Italian is not my forte. :-)
Bella ----- Original Message ---- From: Sue Clemenger [EMAIL PROTECTED] What about the occasional stripes showing up in the Manesse Codex? There's also that picture of Beatrice Sforza, and it's clearly striped (black and white, IIRC). Okay, so she's Italian, but she wasn't Venetian. --Sue ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bella" [EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >>>>Are stripes ever found anywhere outside of Italy?<<<< > > > I'm not really the right person to answer that - I'm too focused on Venice and the rest of Italy to take much else in. :-) But I will say that I _cannot remember_ having seen stripes on any non-religious or non-allegorical person in any other SCA region/time frame. That's not saying much though, because my memory doesn't always co-operate. :-) Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
