Comb, c. 1810

The oil lamps and butterflies depicted in the micromosaics on this comb were probably inspired by those in ancient wall paintings which had been discovered in Italy in the mid-eighteenth century.

Ciociare- Rome, Italy 19th century

ENG:

"Ciociare" was a term used to define women who lived in the "Ciociaria", a wide area of rural lands that extended from Roma up to Napoli. This was a style of dress worn by lower class women in rural areas; these women were often wife's of farmers or fisherman and married very young. Every village had their own little variation in dress, like the color of the apron or the shape of the corset. Some women lived in Rome to search fortune and pose for Europeans artists. Some even ended up marring those artists!

The name Ciociara comes from the shoes that both men and women wore; le Ciocie

These shoes were simple and made of pieces of leather that wrapped around the foot and leg 13 times and stopped at the knee.

Historical Mermay prompt 5: Italian Renaissance Mermaid

You would not believe the amount of trouble the colors gave me on this one. I went through so many color palettes before I decided this was the strongest “renaissance” palette. Which makes sense since it borrows colors from ‘The Birth of Venus’. And of course the bodice and sleeves reference fashion of the time.
