Castello del Buonconsiglio Part Three



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!"



That's all I managed to get of the German room in the castle.  For all the photos I took of various paintings and artifacts, check out my photo album on Ipernity!
