I hadn't thought about this subject in a while and reading your comment brought me back to the dimly lit room when we first saw the garments.TravelMarxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225272761579994072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047951599825887753.post-16711319454702181182010-04-16T11:57:09.125+02:002010-04-16T11:57:09.125+02:00I stumbled across this blog while searching for a ...I stumbled across this blog while searching for a specific Eleonora di Toledo portrait, and I saw your comments about her burial clothes. Just wanted to fill in:<br /><br />As you write, the first examinations of the graves were done in 1857. At this point they only examined the content to try and establish exactly who were in the graves and to see the conditions of the remains. Alas, the clothes were left in the coffins after examinations. They were photographed in the late 1960s, but first removed in the early 1980s, when they were in poor condition.<br /><br />Eleonora's clothes were the first ones to be restored, as Janet Arnold wanted to include it in her (then) new "Patterns of Fashion" book. Don Garzia's clothes were properly restored in 1991, ditto for Cosimo I's clothes, I think. The restored clothes were first presented in the book "Moda alla corte dei Medici" in 1993. They might have worked further on them garbs after that, but the main work was done in the early 1990s. <br /><br />There are some awesome photos of them online, here:<br />http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/workbox/workbox.htmAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
