Allegorical motifs
I am plotting and planning a new piece done in reserva work. I'd like to
focus on allegorical motifs for the 4 seasons. Hopefully Spanish and 15th- 17thC too. I've got my silk and linen, just need to come up with a design for it! Any leads would be great. Thanks! -- Regards --Anne Blogging to be found at http://www.emptycauldron.com/weblog/musings.html Remove DIESPAMBOTDIE to e-mail |

Anne , i would start by reading the Deffinitions of the SEASONS as
they are writen in a Dictionary with Historical backgrounds. [of the terms]. than take a paper each for each season and scribble on it , every thougght you have about this season. You might also ask around , family /friends ...... this will give you also comtemporary ideas .....Look through Symbols dictionaries, as well as a Good book about Heraldery. And there is a book called ; "Resplendence of the Spanish Monarchy" by Antonio Dominguez Ortiz , Concha Herero Carretero and Jose` A. Godoy, The Metropolitan Museum of Art , New York 1991, it was printed in conjunction with an Exhibition , that showed Renaissance Tapestries and Armor from the Patrimonio Nacional . the elaborate tapestries carry may of the alegorical [traditional] Spanish figures , and the written material is excellent. and covered a lot of Historical background. mirjam On Fri, 23 Jan 2004 20:52:44 GMT, Sorceress wrote: I am plotting and planning a new piece done in reserva work.
