Northern Netherlands Master, Triptych of the Crucifixion with Saints and Donors, 1530s
This is the full painting
Here, you can see several donors and a couple of kids.
Center left is Mother Mary with possibly James and Mary Magdalen. I'm not sure who is supposed to be at the foot of the cross; perhaps Martha or Saint Helena?
This guy. I love this guy. Anyone that can wear Mickey Mouse ears to Calvary has my vote. (Yeah, I know, not really Mickey Mouse ears but...it still looks ridiculous)
This is the right wing of the Triptych. Another three donors, possibly the Mom and two daughters?
Lucas Cranach's Crucifixion from between 1508-1510.
The full painting
Mary Magdalen is wearing a green velvet with gold dress at the foot of the cross. Mother Mary and the other women are behind her. Green has long had a reputation of being associated with ladies of the evening so it makes sense that Mary Magdalen would be shown wearing that color.
Close up of Mary Magdalen.
Albrecht Dürer's Job on the Dungheap painted in 1505
I love this because of the lady's dress. She has a clearly red front piece with a very, very pink gown.
Close up of her bodice and sleeve. Also, notice it's not super stiff - she probably has on a bra of some sort with just the chemise, stomacher/front piece/whatever you want to call it, and the gown. She also has a sheer partlet/scarf around her shoulders.
Hans Holbein's Sunday view of the Frankfurt Altarpiece from 1501.
The piece was huge. This is the overall look.
I focused on getting close-ups of the bottom piece. It starts with Palm Sunday and then the Cleansing of the Temple.
In this one, the Cleansing of the Temple is on the left with the Last Supper on the right.
This is just a slightly better picture of the Last Supper.
Jesus washing the feet of his disciples with part of the Agony in the Garden.
A much better look at the Agony in the Garden. I love all these because of the richness of the colors. Yes, there are a lot of blues but also a lot of greens and reds/pinks. They did have colors!
This is a close up from the lower right panel of the altarpiece. It shows the three women carrying jars to anoint and clean the body of Christ on Easter Sunday. I am in love with the white dress. It's hard to see here, but in person, you can see the pins holding the dress front closed. The lady in the red veil has on a nice darker green dress that just would not come out in the photos.
This guy is from the far left panel of the altarpiece and I love his teal, lemon yellow, and pink scarf outfit. I can easily see a guy today wearing a shirt with the same print as his tunic and a pair of blue jeans.
Conrad Faber von Creuznach's Double portrait of Justinian von Holzhausen and his wife Anna from 1536.
Showing the painting overall.
Close up of her green dress with black velvet trim, lined in red silk.
Close up of the mirror reflection showing the back of her hat.
Close up of her hat and chemise.
Mathis Gothart Nithart's painting of Saint Lawrence and Saint Cyriacus from 1509/1510.
Saint Lawrence who is the guy, during his martydom, quipped "Flip me over, I'm done on this side" while being grilled - literally.
Saint Cyriacus was a Roman era martyr who is credited with exorcising demons.
Close up of the woman in the painting
Close up of her dress. You can clearly see the dog-legged closure for the gown.
The Stalburg portraits from 1504
Both full length portraits! These are so incredibly rare - particularly of someone that isn't royalty.
Close up of the woman's bodice and closure of her dress.
Close up of her hat
Better close up of the dress. It's clearly out of watered silk (moire) in person with velvet trim and a fur lining.
The opening of the dress goes all the way to the floor which is pretty rare
The hem of her gown
Han Holbein's Portrait of Simon George of Cornwall from the late 1530s.
The full painting.
Close up of that lovely gold and blackwork
Lucas Cranach's Altarpiece of Holy Kinship from 1509
This was on the backside of the altarpiece and would have been seen when the altarpiece was shut.
The full altarpiece
I love the little boy's gown in the green and pink!
The gentleman is wearing a wide sleeved coat, lined in a very bright pink, with green hosen. The lady has on a red gown that's hard to make out but she does have an early French styled hood on.
The guy has on a pink, yellow, and blue outfit with red hosen. The lady has a gold gown lined in pink silk.
Pfullendorf altarpiece from between 1497-1503
Here is the full altarpiece showing the Annunciation, Mary visiting Elizabeth, the Nativity, and the death of the Virgin.
The Annunciation
Mary, in blue, visiting Elizabeth, in purply plum and red.
Close up of Elizabeth's sleeves
The nativity
Death of the Virgin
The crucifixion from 1500 (sorry for the blurry photo!). This is actually a very famous triptych that I know circles around the SCA like wildfire.
The left panel. There is so much wonderfulness in this.
Starting with the lady on the bottom left: the green cloak, the blue kirtle with short sleeves and the wide red sleeves under. The white veil wrapped around her head. It's all awesome.
Veronica wearing the wrap hat (this is seen in several other paintings of the time to the point I made a page about it YEARS ago. I think I last updated the link about 10 years ago? Anyway, this is shown in the link as well with the dates being about 10 to 20 years earlier than what the museum now says.
This is from the right half of the left panel. I actually like the pleated white dress with the red sleeves.
This dress is very famous in the SCA garbing circles. The red kirtle is open in the front and shows that the lady is wearing something black underneath. The black, however, only extends to the waistline. It's now thought this is just an underbodice/bra. Also, the green sleeve is pinned to the short red sleeve.
Mary and probably one of the other Mary's or Martha.
This is from the center, I think. I wanted to get some good photos of the guys' clothing as well.
Center showing a wide variety of colors.
Center and I'm a sucker from stripes. Showing peasants wearing rags, as with the guy in blue, was common. It's rare to see patches although they do appear once in a while.
That turban though....
This is from the right panel. Guys on horses looking like "Oh, isn't that interesting?" ....
Lucas Van Valckenborch's View of Antwerp with the Schelde Frozen Over from 1593.
The full painting.
I had to get a close up of the lady in yellow who fell down. Notice her red muff to the side and people rushing to help her.
Good old fire to roast things on. Hot Chocolate was still an upper class drink at this point (it did exist!) so maybe chestnuts?
Gotta bring more wood for the fire. Here, you can see the lady with the firewood on her head's jacket and red wool (?) petticoat. There is also a black line at the hem. The more upper class couple have long cloaks on and hats.
I want this sleigh. That is all.
Lucas Van Valchkenborch's Winter Landscape with Snowfall near Antwerp from 1575.
The full painting.
Patches! The kid almost out of view has blue patches on his/her cloak. Also, s/he appears to have a knit cap.
Just warming up near the fire. Not a bad idea.
Pink pants with a red doublet.
The family appears to be middle class or upper middle class. One of the things I always forget to do to my own garb and something I've rarely seen are those black bars at the bottom of the skirt. They appear to be common in period for those with any sort of money.
Hockey game because...necessary.
I'm not even sure what is going on but it does look fun.
Pieter Aertsen's Market Scene with Christ and the Adulteress from 1559.
I LOVE the market scene paintings. I really adore this one because the common folk are upclose and you can see the details of the clothing.
Straw hat, yellow underdress, blue overdress, pink apron and sleeves, partlet, and you can see how the dress is laced easily.
The girl in the background has her hair sewn up with ribbon, a black partlet and apron, and a red dress.
Olive green sleeves that are pinned on.
I love this old woman. Ankles are totally period. And see the wooden clogs the guy is wearing! They both look quite relaxed.
Her outfit is almost camouflaged for her stall.
The adultress is wearing an upper class style gown. The lighting made it hard to get a good photo.
Close up of the pinned on sleeve and the waistline of the lady in the center front.
The fuzzy pink hat. I know there are tons of guys in the SCA that would love to make this. I really want this to be a thing now.
Mount Calvary painted between 1435-1445.
This is of the full painting. Notice the amount of colors! Greens! Blues! Pinks! Reds! Oranges! Yellows! Heck, the guy directly behind the Cross is wearing purple with a green hat!
But it's this guy in front of the cross that made me smile. Unfortunately, there are still some in the garbing world who are under the belief that back lacing wasn't a thing until the mid 16th C. See the guy in yellow? Yeah, his armor is backlaced. It's probably allegorical but the concept of backlacing existed at least in the early 15th C.
Mother Mary, James, Mary (or Martha), and Veronica.
Close up of the right side of the painting.
And that's it! My album of all the photos I took in Germany is through the link. Again, if you'd like to use any of the images, please either link or document to this page. I hope these help!
