Men's fashions are so boring anymore; just look at these!
ReplyDeleteMen! Bravo! Men!
ReplyDeleteThe dress of the era did poor King Alfonso no favors; the Spanish Hapsburgs really need something more dramatic to offset that bone structure.
ReplyDeleteBut now I'm off - apparently I have to learn something about Kornilovism and why its adherents are so dashing...
Wonderful collection! Thank you! I especially liked the Ground Tour portrait by Batoni of Thomas Taylour, Viscount Headford. The temple seen through the window is probably the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli. I can't get enough of these Grand Tour portraits. :-)
ReplyDeleteI, too, really love all of Batoni's wonderful "Inglesi in Italia". : )
