They show not only how beauty was perceived in different ways in these countries, but also how the fashions of North-Western Europe drew heavily on those of Italy. The materials for dressmaking, such as damask, satin and velvet, all came from Italy. (1.x refers to top row, 2.x to bottom row): 1.1 A noblewoman from Ravenna. 1.2 A noble matron from Naples. 1.3 A married Neapolitan princess. 1.4 A woman from Padua. 2.1 Elizabeth de Valois, Queen of Spain, and the daughter of Henry II and Catherine de Medici. 2.2 Anne Boleyn, born in 1500, Queen of England and mother of Queen Elizabeth I. 2.3 Mary of England, born in 1497, the younger sister of Henry VIII. She married Louis XII, King of France, in 1514 when she was only just 16 and considered one of the most beautiful women of her age. Her sleeves are a rebras - that is, wide and pushed back a little up the arm, just allowing the decorative cuffs of the dress underneath to peep out. 2.4 Jane Seymour, Queen of England, after Holbein. She is wearing the same style of headdress as Anne Boleyn and Mary of England. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
