details from mics. panel paintings in Volterra, taken by my former professor of art history, sara cree ( hope she doesn't mind... too beautiful not to keep these )
I love the entire fresco cycle - The Allegory of Good and Bad Government - But I really adore the dragonfly and caterpillar fabrics these women are wearing ( As did all the girls in Sarah Cree's seminar)
A detail from Duccio's Maesta- the pattern intricacy & colorstory (and hands) In the same building were some textiles similar to the ones he is painting here.... I will edit the post to include those later
Sam Fogg deals Medieval, Islamic, and Indian Art. This example is my favorite, although I have no idea who it is meant to represent http://www.samfogg.com/
From the photo without any other reference, it's nearly impossible to tell that this fluid sculptural artwork is actually jewelry made out of paper. *The texture of the black and white one is my favorite
