Adoration of textiles


Adoration of St. Vincent.
Adore the lady on the left, in vivid crimson and jewel tones. What a magnificent headpiece!!!! that appears to be punctuated with velvet foliage.

From the Saint Vincent Panels, c1460-ish. Attributed to Nuno Conçalves, Portugal.

    that is impressive! must have good balance, though the corsets likely helped!

    Jen - right you are:) - much prettier than having a book on your head for posture! Love the blakened green and red color combinations.
