Summary:

The flowering of art, literature, and science during the period known as the Renaissance marked Europe's transition from medieval to modern times. Inspired by this dynamic age, illustrator Tom Tierney has carefully researched and accurately rendered an amazing diversity of clothing styles from the early 15th through late 16th centuries. Forty-five ready-to-color illustrations depict people from every social class: an Italian peasant couple dressed for their wedding day, English nobles in brocaded silk gowns and velvet hats, a German soldier in a fantastically slashed and puffed uniform, and many others. Informative captions accompany each illustration, making this an appealing work for costume historians and designers as well as colorists.
