Thinking about proper headdress for an early 15th C overdress called the Pellanda or Houppelande. I like these long braids with the striped #ghirlanda “hat”. What is your favorite #houppelande painting? What fabric and color is your favorite for the Pellanda?#labelladonnahistory #pellanda

Bianca Sforza by Leonardo Da Vinci circa 1495. Leonardo da Vinci was born #OnThisDay in 1452, near the Tuscan hill-town of Vinci. As a painter, sculptor, architect, designer, theorist, engineer and scientist, he created some of the most famous images in European art. Though many of his works were never finished, and even fewer have survived, he influenced generations of artists and he continues to be revered as a universal genius. #labelladonnahistory #leonardodavinci #sforza #biancasforza
