The cuts, fabrics, and details of dress provide a valuable visual record of early fifteenth-century Italy, allowing us, through painting, to observe how people dressed, their tastes, and the social structures of the period. Details from The Judgement of Paris, now in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, painted around 1430–1440 by an anonymous artist now known as the Master of the Judgement of Paris. #15thcentury #historicalfashion #dresshistory #italianrenaissance taken in Bargello National Museum by @quattrocentolab
