Joanna of Castile
Garment
after the sepulchre of Joanna of Castile (Bartolomé Ordoñez,
1518-1519) in Capilla Real de Granada. The colour combination
was chosen from a depiction in a book by Christoph Weiditz (Trachtenbuch,
Nuremberg, Germanisches Nationalmuseum, f.50) who stayed in
Spain from 1528-29 and drew the clothes of the local
inhabitants.
The clothing consists of a smock with large sleeves, an undergarment and
an outer garment. The accessories, besides jewellery, are a
headdress, a belt and high chapines on a cork platform. |
