On the way to and from the Eagle Tower at the castle in Trent, Italy, there is a small room filled with fabulous early 16th Century German style paintings. The above photo is a picture of what the hall going to and from the tower looks like.
Above is the small room. In the painting above the door, you can see several individuals in a parade outside.
This is just a close up of one of the paintings near the window.
A hunting scene from above the door going to the tower.
A slightly better look at the hunting scene. The lady and the gentlemen are all wearing distinctly early 16th Century German outfits - most likely 1510s/1520s.
This is from the parade, shown above the door going back to the castle from the tower. What I couldn't capture, no matter how hard I tried, is that the lady closest to us is wearing a lavender gown. It is NOT white. That's just the stupid light that they had right below her that sent a glare all over the painting and made it really hard to even get a half way decent photo off.
Really, her dress is lavender. You can also see a lovely green and blue dress in the background.
The corner going towards the tower is below- it has a slightly better overall look at the hunting scene.
This was the best I could get of the lady in the lavender dress. What is going on with her hem?!? Overall, though, her dress is pretty typical for the 1510s/1520s time frame.
A bit blurry but the rest of the individuals behind the lady in lavender.
A way better picture. The lady in blue leads but take a look at the lady in the goldenrod dress with the navy blue details and the lavender hat!
This lady was wearing white. :-) Unfortunately, the room wasn't as well conserved at the medieval room. In fact, we weren't really told much other than "look! Paintings!"
