EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate and elaborate design for costumes, most likely used in the Florentine Intermezzi during a marriage festival in Florence, 1589. Created by the talented artist Buontalenti, Bernardo (1536-1608), this piece is now housed at the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. The image showcases two female performers adorned in stunning attire that reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Medici family. The costumes are meticulously crafted with exquisite details and vibrant colors, showcasing an impeccable sense of fashion from that era.
