User:Adnsz/Hairstyles in Renaissance Art
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Renaissance in Europe (14th to 16th century)[1]featured representations of women with varied hairstyles, costumes, and other things like cosmetics associated with feminine beauty. These qualities displaying status and beauty were regarded as excessive in the Middle Ages, but were the norm in Renaissance representations of women.[2]. In works of art, hair can indicate a subject's position, identity, and background, as well as allude to qualities of beauty.[3]. The display of hair was regarded as a private act, but in art it became an indicator of what a patron or individual wanted the world to see about the sitter, thus a more public expression.[4] Artists' depiction of hair thus provides insight into the subject, the subject's identity, and her culture. Artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli wrote of the importance of mastering the depiction of hair.[5]
