Interesting Details
May. 29th, 2009 11:37 amWhile looking for other things, I noticed some interesting details in this Mantegna fresco:
1) Unstructured Giornee
No big surprise at this point, but the children and, I think, a man on the right side have unstructured giornee.
2) Heraldic Giornea
Far more interesting is the man on the right, whose giornea (and the most visible leg of his calze) looks to be boldly heraldic. Never really seen this before.
3) Calze seams
The white calze of the man on the left show some interesting seams on the lower leg. There's a horizontal seam just below the knee, which curved upward on the outside of the leg and downward on the inside. There appear to be two vertical seams, one on either side of the leg. There are also seams that indicate a separate heel and vamp on the foot, unless that's a shoe. It's also possible that the whole thing is a very snug fitting boot. Very curious.
